CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. 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

    1972d No Islands Type1?

    Hi everyone, I found an Ike with no islands on what looks like a type 1 ( common type). Has anyone seen this before or what are your thoughts about this coin. Thanks, Bill

    The missing Islands could be from over abrasion of the die. I can't tell from photos you have posted. But it also appears that other details of the earth are missing as well.

      Thanks James,
      I think its probably a combination of die abrasion, die fill & a light strike. If you tilt the coin just right you can see slight traces of the type 1 islands to the east. Interesting coin. I'll put it away, who knows, someday it might be like the 1922 no D.
