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

    My 1858 flying eagle

    I’ve had this coin for awhile now but just today decided to scope it. I’ve tried to research this but can’t find anything in regards. It looks to me that there is an additional eagle head on the coin underneath the bird itself. Could someone give me there opinion thanks in advance.

    No, I don't believe so. Here is why. You have two different heights here.
    On the die, the eagle is incused, or sunk into the die. Then we have the flat part of the coin, the field.
    you would have to do some magic for 2 different levels sharing one image.

    To have some sort of ghostly image like that, in an abnormal position means it should show signs of being off center if it was struck more than once.
    There are more negatives about this than possibilities.

    If an overlay was done about this, it would probably show how jacked up this coin would have to be, position-wise in order to make the issue stick.
