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

    Interesting Penny... anyone know?

    Does anyone know what this could be? 1976 penny with possibly a die error... extra "1" misplaced? Thanks! ~RKR

    oddly enough, it looks like a reed hit but business strike/proofs cents don't have reeds since like 1795 or so. don't recall offhand if 96/97/98/99 have reeds.i say odds because usually it is the same denomination of coin that ends up putting reed marks on them.

      Iin my opinion, t's simply damage near the original "1". Even back in 1970, they would not have let a working die with an additional digit make close to 1 million coins. It could be reeding from another coin, but it's so beat up, it could have been from a tool or was used as a tool. Part of the copper layers were crunched up into a twisted looking design. It's post mint damage. Done after it left the mint.
