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

    The nickel shows a "strike-through" error. It was possibly struck through grease or a related form of die fill. The 1965 cent is awesome. It's a saddle strike (tandem strike) on an already-struck cent, and both off-center strikes are weak. Can you provide a photo of the reverse face?

        The proof will show on the reverse. If it is - WOW.

            Gorgeous. Slabbing would make sense if you ever want to sell it, simply to assure less knowledgeable buyers that this unusual-looking error is genuine. Otherwise I don't see any benefit. The grading service will most likely omit mention of the weak nature of the saddle strike, which is one of its most attractive features.

                    I'm no dealer, so any estimate I provide should be regarded with a degree of skepticism. I'd say it would sell for between $500 and $750.
