CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.

CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here

    Bulge in front of Buffalo's eye

    I came across this 2005-P Kansas State Quarter with an unusual bulge appearing in front of the Buffalo's left eye. I would welcome any comments on this coin.

    Generally on modern coins that have a clad layer, bulges like this are caused by trapped gas between the layers. It may also be a die dent or an impression in the die that would be transfer to the coin as a bulge. Either way, it is a minor anomaly and does not enhance the value of the coin.
