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

    2007 Canadian Toonie?

    Received this in change at Walmart, took a closer look at it because I was impressed with the lack of wear. Anyway noticed this so thought I would inquire would it be a clashed die or another cause?
    Thank you

    Hi Seeindubl,

    I see the die polish lines in the field and the die chips in front of the chin and at the neck/chin transition. I'm not sure if that's a die crack between the lips or just the lighting but what your really asking about looks more like a die crack or multiple cracks. It's curious how the crack is almost a straight line. I'm calling it a crack because it's wider and deeper than normal polish lines. Starting from the bottom of the neck/chin, the crack runs parallel down to the shoulder and hits a die chip then wraps around the shoulder and actually ends there. The bottom line is a seperate crack, you can see the seperation between the two cracks at the lower portion of the shoulder. I know it's not her shoulder but that's what I'll call it. That's how I would look at it if it were mine.

      It does look like we're dealing with some rather peculiar die cracks.

          I think were dealing here with a series of die gouges along with some die cracks also striation lines The ones in red seem to be a die gouge notice the point on the image and raised slightly more the the others and are quite thicker in nature . I never really seen a conglomeration of that many on a coin before
