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

    black 1937 buffalo nickel

    I found this awesome black colored buffalo nickel, that looks odd. Ive read about something about the jefferson nickels, but was long ago, and ran across this old one in my collection. And it got me thinking , maybe this nickel is like those ones, or something else? It weighs 4.88 grams, which seems light to me, could the nickel coating be not there? I am interested to know

    Hummmm that nickel looks a little pitted. It might have been in the ground, which may have reduced the coin weight a little. As for it looking pretty decent, I don't know if it was sonically cleaned or chemically cleaned. Chemicals may have removed all the crud, but the patina would have gone too. Slight chance a ground coin with environmental damage might have some patina left. It depends how long the environment affected the coin.
