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

    DAMAGE OR SOMETHING ELSE

    While killing time I was looking through a group of 1979 SBA's and came across this 1979 S. At first I just wrote it off as damage then started looking closer until I noticed that the damage was just limited to the S with no damage to the surrounding area. It looks like the s may be filled in and like it is surrounded or inclused in a box. The more I looked the loonier I got and just thought I would throw it out there.

    I do see it in your photos. In my opinion, it still looks like damage. It appears that something may have scraped the very top of the letter. It is also possible that it was damaged during ejection.
