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

    1865 Nickel Three Cent Piece 180 degree clash rotation

    I have an 1865 US Nickel Three Cent Piece that shows a full clash 180 degrees off . If you examine the date you'll notice that the two ribbons on the reverse can be seen entity in the date. Now if you look at the over lay you'll see that the ribbons shouldn't be at this location on the coin on a normal clash. They should be above the head not in the date.]downloadfile-12.jpg40529182.jpg

      Well I must retract my first post. After studying the images I believed that the coin was rotated 180 degrees. After digging it from the vault and looking at it in hand it's not the ribbons. What I believed to have seen, but a triple clash of the wreath that looks to be a ribbon like image on the photo. The way the clash looks even in hand looks like the left split end of the ribbon on the bottom wreath on the reverse .
      Even the Roman numeral under Liberty's chin looks to have been clashed 4 or more times. And would estimate that the obv. Surfaces show clashing on at least 75% .

        The mint workers must of been heavy drinking that night and forgot there was no planchet in the press, or just trying to kill a fly that keep landing on the dies ... Lol ........
