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

    New person to the site says… Hello to all !

    I am New-mismatic not yet a member, Ed (AKA) Super Saver Sr.
    I have been saving/ collecting since I was a youth
    I simply put any change I had into glass jars. (over 50 Years)
    Now retired, I have sorted my penny coins by years (over 9,000)
    And still have a couple of thousand N-D-Q-H-D’s to go.
    Thus my interest in this and other coin sites.
    Learning the intricacies of what is quite an extremely detailed specialty!

    I have one very strange multi-error penny in particular that I remember getting in change as a dime.
    I almost threw it away but for some reason did not…Would love to know how or what created it?
    It is a ‘partial’ penny dated 1962D (2over1) and has many problems as the attached 8 jpeg’s highlight.

        Welcome to the forum!

        If I had something that appeared to be on an incomplete, the first thing I would do was look at the edges to see how the design dealt with the extra energy from the missing parts of that planchet. There should be metal flow line and the design, visually speaking, pulling away. I do not see that here. Even a small clip has metal flow at the incomplete area.

        I do not have the coin in hand to see, but it seems more likely someone ground off the edges of the coin and damaged the coin in the process.
