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

    Hi Larry - May I ask to what you are referring to as being the oddity.

    Thanks,

      You mean the missing parts of Monticello, on the roof and to the left and right of the dome? That would be due to overzealous die abrasion (die polishing).

        I have collected Jeffersons for 40 years and have examined (and still own) thousands of them. I have 3 1971-D coins with the same roof parts missing, and all three are BU, 5-step coins (I've saved them since 1971). I am skeptical that this is simply an overzealous die polisher, because every other detail remains VERY sharp. I'd like to hear more about that theory, and the possibility that a previously undiscovered variety exists.
