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

    1989 transitional

    Hi, I found this coin , and I know DR. WILES retracted his statement about the 89 transitional reverse but this sure looks like the 88 reverse. if you need more pictures let me know. P.S. the pictures were taken with my new Intel-Matel qx3, works great, loved the feed back on my question about it, it only cost me $21.00 and thats w/ shipping from e-bay.

    That is the normal 1989 reverse design with the flared G.

      Maybe?

      Hi all, I own one of the 1988 RDV-006, and have read up on the fact that Dr. Wiles has delisted the 1989 with the 1988 reverse.

      Here's one I found that REALLY looks legit, but maybe it's just a weak die or something....

        The lines through thee designer's initials show that this die has been abraded. Unfortunately, this is enough to take away some of the detail from the G and have it appear as a RDV-005 when in all probability it is a RDV-006

        The only way that we will be able to prove the existence of an RDV-005 on a 1989 Lincoln cent is if someone does run across an EDS, MS-64 and up example that has not been abraded for any reason.
