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

    2016 D "Crying" Jefferson Nickel

    Ok I need some help please. I found this 2016 D with a tear running down Jefferson's cheek. It is not a scratch the tear protrudes outward from his cheek. Has anybody ever seen this before or did I just find a new error? Unfortunately the condition is kinda rough but I think this is a unique find. Please help, thank you

    Its not a new find, its probably just a stress crack - a die crack, which are super common amongst almost all coin
    denominations. This does not hold a candle to some of the Lincoln cent die cracks I have seen. An error is an error, most are slightly different from each other. But, this one is as common as they get. Call it what you wish, but in the end it's just a die crack.

    It COULD be the start of a simple lamination peel, since the small square to the west of the questionable area is peeled away. In any event, it is super minor. ​​​​​​​
