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

  • What is a Trail Die ?

    Now that you all have a sense of what a trail die is, I would like to ask three questions.

    1. Are trail dies and wavy steps;
    a. the same anomaly
    b. two different anomaly types.
    c. they maybe the same, but I am not to sure.

    2. Trail dies (and/or wavy steps) are;
    a. a doubled die
    b. a different die type anomaly, separate from a doubled die.
    c. not a die anomaly, but something else.

    3. Do trail dies (and/or wavy steps);
    a. deserve a separate classification, like doubled die and RPMs
    b. should be left in a class of doubled dies (Class VIII).
    c. I am not really sure where it should be put.

    Traildies.com, which is part of Coppercoins, is approaching 20,000 visitors and this will occur in less than two years. From the begin when the first die was entered to the site on 17 August, 2008, we have grown to over 1130 dies with close to 5000 colored pictures and it is all because people like you have used and shown their appreciation for this site.

    With no signs of trail dies taking the road that RPMs took, we should still see this anomaly continue to be found. And not only in the most recent coins being produced, but in older dates and from other countries as well.

    We at Traildies.com (and also Coppercoins.com) will continue this endeavor to list the various trail dies that are presented to us. If you would, please take a moment or two and see what you think of the three questions asked. It will give us a better understanding of what we need to do. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

      If it's your auction, then it's against Forum policy.
