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

  • Post 2 of 2: 1958 P 1 Cent Error Coins

    There are Two Separate Groups of Coins With Different Errors.
    (These are Pictures of Group Two Coins. Pictures of Group One coins are on The First Post.)


    Group One: The bow tie appears to have a slice through it. (In Detail; The slice on the right side of the bow tie appears to be sliced completely through and the sliced piece appears not to match the bow tie with small bumpy lumps attached to it. On the back there's a small crack on the top right side of the letter "T" in the word "CENT", and there's a crack that runs from the center to the bottom on the right side of the letter "T" in the word "CENT".)
    ​​​​​​Group Two: The bow tie is broken off on the front. (In Detail; The right side of the bow tie appears to be broken completely off with sharp jagged edges showing. On the back of the coin the top left side of the letter "T" in the word "Cent" is missing.)
    Both groups of coins have similar errors on the back in the letter "N" and "T" in the word "CENT".
    Both groups have similar errors on the bottom left side of "E" in the word "ONE".
    Both groups appear to have doubling on the front and back.


    I have 26 coins of group one with the sliced bow tie and 18 coins of group two with the broken off bow tie, there seems to be a lot more out there because I found them at the end of the uncirculated rolls. Possibly a new variety?

    Not a variety or error. Normal coins

      Like Klocc says, these are not an error. Over time the die wears down or has an issue which may cause a slight minor effect on the coin, but in my opinion, these are really not collectible to the error coin collector community. It is simply too minor, and does not fall within a major error coin category.
