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

    1995 LINCOLN CENT CRACKED DIES

    I have just opened 3 bank rolls of 1995 P cents, and aside from the few that were "struck thru grease", I have come up with 18 that have die cracks. How do I tell which die had the crack? Some of the cracks are on the obverse, some on the reverse, and one that is cracked on both sides. Help PLEASE !!!!!!!! Is there some publication that deals with die cracks out there?

    Do you have any pictures of these cracks because I have two 95s cracked also.

      unfortunately no, I am using a 12x loop, and my digital camera can't pick up the cracks. If you send me a private email, I will attempt to describe the locations of the cracks for you. printman90606@yahoo.com

        Die cracks are common in all denominations in all years. No crack will be absolutely identical to any other, so having an identical die crack on two different coins indicates they were struck by the same die.
