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

  • 2004 Lincoln Penny, wide extra column on reverse

    I as able to rule out it being any sort of like bubbling effect but theres is still a lot of other worthless errors that can happen to produce this effect. It does look like an extra partial column to the east of the building but I can't see how it would happen in that kind of position. I think back to the 1934 DDO where there is partials of the 3 and 4 well beneath the actual date from accidental wrong positioning setting of the die/master hub, I'm not sure on the exact terminology but you get my meaning. When I changed the lighting to a black and white it did produce an image with much better detail making it appear to just "maybe" being an extra column. I have high doubts but take a look and tell me what you think. I'll post more pics if asked

      With single-squeeze hubbing, I'd think with something this far from the center it'd take some pretty radical motion of the dies during the hubbing process for this to be a doubling. Could be a very interestingly placed die gouge, or air/zinc corrosion bubble as has been said, but I'll happily defer to someone with more experience with modern lincoln ddr's if someone else has a more solid feeling of what this is.
