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

    "Kennedy Half Dollar" 1968 D on copper planchet?

    Can it be so that this "Kennedy Half Dollar" 1968 D was minted on copper planchet?
    I attached photos of the edges of this coin and the coin which I have no doubts. The edge of this coin is more reddish. It looks like copper color to me.
    Weight of this coin is 11.38 g, when standard weight is 11.50
    Diameter is 30.60 mm.

    This is a normal coin. The composition for 1968 coins was 60% copper and 40% silver. The outer layers are 80% silver and 20% copper which is bonded to an inner core of 20.9% silver and 79.1% copper. The weight is within tolerance and as long as there was copper in the composition, it could be visible on the edge.
