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

      Just a note to let everyone know that I have delisted the 1989 RDV-005. My apologies for jumping the gun on this one. After seeing a half dozen additional specimens and further comparisons between the RDV-005 and RDV-006 designs, I have concluded that these are all LDS and over abraded examples of the RDV-006 design. Thanks for your patience and your continued help in sending in coins to study. This is what makes CONECA run. Working together we can unravel the mysteries of our coins.

        James - I agree with your decision, however, there is no need to apologize. The 1989-D with what looked like a RDV-005 was made with sound judgment on your part. And who knows, there may be some out there.

          I agree. I, for one, am still searching!

              1989 controversy coin

              I have decided to auction the "controversy coin" as a collectible numismatic novelty. As self promotion is not allowed, you can PM me for details.
              Thanks, David.

                  I found one!

                  First off, I'd like to thank Patrick Gaughan for his find. it allowed me to do my own hunting for them. I sent an e-mail to Mr. Wiles with these same photos to assure it's authenticity. If it is what I hope it is, how many have been officially found, and is there a set value for them yet?

                  By the way, I live in North Carolina.

                    Brefos, It certainly looks like you found number six!!! congatulations!! You have also found the first one that wasn't in the Northeastern U.S. The first was in Syracuse, NY. Number two in Southern Maine. The third in Massachusetts. The fourth in Maine, fifth in northeast PA and now yours in NC. Nice job! The second one was sold to a ebay bidder(e_kkm) from CA for $157.55 about a week ago. It was AU raw. IMHO this variety has great potential. With more publicity I think interest in it will grow and with interest so will go the value. I'm hoping to see it listed in the fifth edition of The Cherrypicker's Guide. Number three has beed graded by ICG as MS64RD. Are you going to have yours graded? It definately looks worthy of it. Nice photos too. Thanks for posting them here.

                      New die variety?

                      I've notice a pretty significant difference in mine
                      and Patrick's coin (the one on varietyvista.com).

                      Look at mine where the arrow is pointing
                      (under the top of the curve). There is "tail" going
                      left and right, but in Patrick's it stays inside of
                      the curve of the G. It may not mean anything, but
                      it could be a different die or something.

                        That's a question we'll have to leave for Dr. Wiles to address.

                          For Sale on Ebay

                          Patrick's coin is for sale on Ebay:

                          http://cgi.ebay.com/1988-P-RDV-006-DIE-2-STAGE-A-EDS-LINCOLN-CENT_W0QQitemZ140192230699QQihZ004QQcategoryZ524QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


                          He may have done better posting some photos instead of just using a link to the varietyvista site.

                              Good Luck!

                              Wow, I guess we'll see if others are interested in this coin. Patrick, I hope you sell it for what you want. I'll be watching!

                                I got an email from Dr. Wiles today. Here's an excerpt:

                                "Your coin is indeed RDV-006. It is now listed as die 4, stage A, EDS. I will get it up on www.varietyvista.com shortly."
