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

    1998-D Lincoln cent with a Class VIII

    This is not your typical tilted hub doubled die that is most often found on the Lincoln cent reverse.







    Couldn't decide what picture I liked the best, so I put them both on. I believe this is best described as a fallen arch?

        You seem to have a knack for finding these puzzlers. I would think it's a die dent or a die gouge that bears a coincidental resemblance to the structure beneath each arch. But you know me, I'm a notorious skeptic.

          Mike - When I first saw it I too was a bit skeptical to the possibility that it was part of the design. However, the consistent raised area from one end to the other and also the unusual straightness of the line led me to believe that it was in fact a doubled die. But then again, you never know with these anomalies. We have all been fooled by them and recently !!!!!

            Nice find BJ. Just a few weeks ago I found a 1998 D that is apparently from the same die. Are you planning to send it to James Wiles for inclusion in the CONECA files? I was thinking about sending mine in.

            (I call it a "hillbilly ceiling")

              Tom - Go ahead and send yours into James and I'll send mine off to John Wexler and Bob Piazza. This way we can spread the wealth around.

                BJ, I just got my example of the coin back from James Wiles. He says it looks like a "nice die gouge".
