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

  • Two New Obverse Trail dies

    Here are a couple of new trail dies that Steven down Missouri way found.



    The first is obviously on a 1996 Lincoln cent. As with most obverse trail dies, the only design element affected was the date. This will be listed in the DEO/DER files as 1996P-1DEO-001T with an offset direction of 050 degrees

    The next is found on a 1999 Lincoln cent and the design element affected on this die is LIBERTY, which seems to be the most common area on the obverse die to have trails. This will be in the DEO/DER files as 1999P-1DEO-004T with an offset direction of 340 degrees.



    I am always interested in wavy steps and trail dies, especially on other denominations beside the Lincoln cent. If you do have some that you are unsure of, just drop me a line. Thanks.

      It is hard to say exactly what a trail or wavy step dies is worth. I do know that coppercoins has the strongest wavy step die listed at about $100.00 for a MS64 example.

      As with just about all variety and error coijns, it is up to the buyer to determine how much he or she is willing to spend. Also remember that this is a fairly new variety type and not that many are aware of it, YET!!!.
