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

  • One New Traildie & One Top 50 New Die.

    This die is a new trail in the direction pointing down.No die for this date has trails going down toward.And I believe the reverse has trails from the (fg), but thats to be seen because I cant get a good shot of it.

    This coin is a major traildie.Im hoping this make one of the top 50. That would really make my day.I just found this baby yesterday, and I hope its a new die.I went researching to see if I could find match it, but couldnt.The similar traildies to my coin are as followed,1999P-DER-010T,1999P-DER-026T,1999P-DER-032T,1999P-DER-043T and 1999P-DER-065T...I see alot going on with this coin,actually too much to point out.Both urns seem to be affected, the columns and most of the motto..

      Nice finds, I guess your luck has extended to lincolns as well.

      Not to thread hijack, but I was going to post something similar to your first picture (minus the trails) and ask the group what it is that causes that inner bevel through the L and the "in god we trust". Any ideas? I've seen a bunch of them over the years and have never been sure how that happens.

          Had too much going on, haven't had the time to get the pictures and upload them yet. Hopefully BJ comes and weighs in on whether that 2nd one will make the top 50.

              You and your luck, on the one hand I'm jealous on the other hand I'm just glad someone's got it, as you keep coming up with new and interesting things and posting them. I went through several hundred nickles the other week with not a single clash in sight. Ditto cents and trails. Need to redirect time I'd spent looking for things into posting the couple finds I have tripped across. Can't wait to hear if they're new ones, keeping fingers crossed!

                Last week I did find one with traildie, but I want a major traildie under my belt and a die clash.My die clashes arent good enough to make that site yet and im mad about it.I received a nice 1983P cent today with a nice die clash.Got it in change while at mcdonalds.Oh I went through 40 dollars in nickels and nothing.

                  You'll get one eventually, there's always something new out there. I try to keep something Mel Fisher said in the back of my mind to keep me motivated, "Today's the day".
