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

    1957 Franklin Half Dollar - FS-402?

    Here are images of what I think should be the discovery coin for a 1957 FS-402 Die Clash "Booger Nose." Looking for opinions from the Franklin Die Variety specialist.

    Booger nose? Seriously? Where does FS-402 come from? This certainly would not be worthy of a Cherry Pickers number, and with the millions of coins out there with similar die damage, you can't prove this one is a clash versus die damage.

      It's clearly machine damage, especially around Franklin himself. A random die chip will not gain the popularity needed to call it something other than a die chip. Being that the dies probably hammered out tens of thousands of these 50+ years ago, and there was no interest then, it will probably be the same now.... in my opinion.
