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

    Cents can tone many colors based on the conditions they're stored in. The one 44 appears to have been cleaned and has started to retone.

        Have you had these coins since they were minted? I didn't say you cleaned them. Some time in the past 88 years someone cleaned it.

            Daniel, If you insist on being so abusive on your replies, I will not hesitate to remove these posts. This is not the first time you have done this. Our members are giving you their opinion, remember that.
            All of these coins have been circulated. Unless you had these coins under your direct control and have observed their handling since they were minted, then you must believe that environmental and circulation issues affect different coins in different ways. How it was handled, how it was stored and how it was used, all affect the toning on a coin. Finger oils, old cleanings and application of other chemicals also change the color. To say they were absolutely not cleaned while in your possession is cool, but to say they were not while they were circulating before your ownership is difficult to prove.
            Please be respectful here. If you place a thread here asking for opinions, expect that you may not like all the opinions given.
