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

  • Missing date die cap/strike through

    Hello, I have what I believe in a die cap strike through. On the obverse, the Lincoln memorial cent is missing its date, letter 'T' in trust, 'L' in liberty, left rim is raised and very sharp. The coin is almost completely missing the reverse. I also, believe its slightly off center. Thank you for looking and you expertise.

    The reverse looks like a struck through die cap. That on it's own is pretty unique as most struck through die caps occur on the obverse.

    On the obverse, this looks like it was struck through grease.

      Thank you, I thought the obverse was struck through grease myself, just never seen so many and how complete the date and T are. Thank you for confirming my suspicion about the reverse. Im new to this.
