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

    1979 & 1982 cents DDOR or DDD ?

    Hi everyone,

    Posted herewith is a 1982 large date cent & 1979 cent. The 1982 exhibits strong spreading on all of the characters and thickness is noted in the obverse same as the reverse. Is this a mint or die variety error.

    The 1979 exhibits a curly anomaly at the back of lincoln's hair and at the neck portion the extra design is raised on the field.

    These coins were found in rolls.1982b.jpg

    The 1982 appears to be struck through grease which may account for the extra thickness that you are seeing.

    The 1979 appears to be after strike damage.

      Dear BJ,

      Tanks a lot for your reply. But anyway, does it have any numismatic value in the error coin hobby.

      Best wishes,
