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

    Monster Clashed Dies 1944 Merc Dime BU

    Shown here are nice Clashed Dies on a 1944 Winged Liberty (Mercury) dime from Jeffrey Schmittler. He submitted it at the Michigan State Numismatic Society Convention Spring 2011.

    A Clashed Die variety occurs when a planchet fails to enter into the coining chamber but the press cycles anyway. The dies may then smash or clash into each other leaving being their impressions into one or both of the opposing dies to a greater or lesser degree.

          Ken - I would like to enter this clashed die on MADdieclashes.com. I would give credit to the person who found it and the person(you) who took the images.

            BJ,
            You can use any of the images I post anywhere. Normally, if I know the owner of the coin it will be included.
            Enjoy!
            Ken
