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

    Found a penny with only 200 ?

    I got my usual penny's for the bank and found a penny with just 200
    This was not worn off, the grain... is good using a 200 power scope

    So any guess as to the last number 200?

    If any was ever reported?

    I Will post a picture Monday

    It's undoubtedly a filled die error. Gunk was clogging the recess that corresponds to the missing digit. These are very common errors in all years and denominations.

      Found missing digit up top left of date.

      This appears to be a double strike, above the date there is a faint 8 next to the rim in this shot I can see very plain on the camera. But this shows up as a golden 8 above date to the left and up.

        It's impossible for me to determine the nature of the blemish from your photograph.

          Looks like 2003-D to me, hard to tell what caused the missing bits though from the picture. Any way to get a closer up shot of the date/mint mark area?

            I will try and see if my friends camera is better.

            Also The faint 8 or 3 is to the right of the date and close to the rim.

            I said left in my post...
