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

  • Alloying of metals in coins 1944.

    ¿Podría alguien darme alguna información sobre posibles aleaciones, falsificaciones de monedas de 1944, incluso si son un mito? Gracias.

    Could someone give me some information on possible alloy, counterfeit 1944 coins, even if they are a myth? Thank you

    The 1943 year should have been steel cents, and a few copper planchets were in the bottom of the hopper, when they should have been steel. So, several copper 1943s are worth a lot of money.

    Same issue happened in 1944, where they switched back to copper, and several of the steel planchets were left in the hopper, when all should have been copper. Same with the 1944 steel cents, they can be worth a lot of money.

    1943 copper cents will not stick to a magnet.

    1943 steel cents should stick to a magnet..

    Check the weight of the coins. Steel cents should be close to 2.7 grams and copper cents close to 3.11grams.

    Beware of plated coins to make the appear appear the rare type.

    ​​​​​​​El año 1943 debería haber sido centavos de acero, y algunas planchets de cobre estaban en el fondo de la tolva, cuando deberían haber sido de acero. Entonces, varios 1943 de cobre valen mucho dinero.

    El mismo problema sucedió en 1944, cuando volvieron a usar cobre y varias planchas de acero quedaron en la tolva, cuando todas deberían haber sido de cobre. Lo mismo con los centavos de acero de 1944, pueden valer mucho dinero.

    Los centavos de cobre de 1943 no se pegarán a un imán.

    Los centavos de acero de 1943 deberían adherirse a un imán.

    ​​​​​​​Comprueba el peso de las monedas. Los centavos de acero deberían rondar los 2,7 gramos y los centavos de cobre cerca de los 3,11 gramos.

    Tenga cuidado con las monedas chapadas para que parezcan del tipo raro.

      To make my point, a 1944 steel coin may be plated in copper or there may be an alloy of copper with another metal.

        In my opinion, if they have an original 1944 steel cent, it is rare, they should not have done anything to it.

        Now, if they have a 1944 copper coin and try to coat that with other metals, or an outside the USA country tries to make a counterfeit die and produce fake steel cents, this is very possible.
        En mi opinión, si tienen un centavo de acero original de 1944, es raro, no deberían haberle hecho nada.

        Ahora, si tienen una moneda de cobre de 1944 y tratan de recubrirla con otros metales, o si un país fuera de los EE. UU. trata de hacer un troquel falso y producir centavos de acero falsos, esto es muy posible.
