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 quarter Die Clash on both sides?

    I have questions concerning my 2016 South Carolina Fort Moultrie quarter. First of all, are die clashes considered errors or varieties? I found the mirror image of the reverse in some areas of the obverse, but it is normal with die clashes to have the same images on both sides? I hope the pics will show what I mean. On the obverse there are areas where you can see the flag(by the G and T in IN GOD WE TRUST), part of the flag poll and shoulder(through the T and Y in LIBERTY), the top of soldiers boot(Washingtons eyelid),ship sails(beside the RIC in AMERICA). On the reverse you can see an upside down image of the side of the soldiers face and uniform(matches the "negative" space) There's also a bit of mechanical doubling, and he has some trash/ grease or something extra on the side of his hat as well as on one of the ships sails. I will post the pics with the circled areas on obverse then the area on the reverse that matches. I have more pics but was only able to post 8. Thank you in advance for any info!

    I consider them die varieties because the clash remnants are on each coin. (Not hub doubling or an rpm variety of course.)
    In my mind, striking errors are a "one-of-a -kind" event. No two are exactly alike.

    EDIT: I forgot to mention how much I like this clash. It has some nice details.

    And a clash will show details from the opposite side of the coin.
    For those collectors not familiar, here is a link to denominationsl overlays @ Maddieclashes.com

    (Unfortunately, they don't have many of the quarter overlays up yet.)

              With "white" metal US coinage, it is often difficult for me to differentiate between MD and hub doubling.

              But this is MD on your coin. The MD is easiest to see on the "O" in your third image.

                fwiw, i did an overlay of one of these quarters as i couldn't quite picture the details like i usually can with clashes and your coin's clash is a good bit o/c, going south east and still some of the clashing appears a bid odd. not sure what to make of it except sometimes clashes can just be odd, especially on modern coinage. it isn't the best i've done but it conveys the point.
