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

    Missing letters on 1991 Penny, any value?

    I have a 1991 cent showing several letters missing in "Liberty" & "In God We Trust". My understanding it's because of grease. Would this be desirable for a collector?

    Yes, the recesses of the die corresponding to the missing letters was filled with grease. It's up to each collector to determine what's desirable. These sorts of errors are quite common and have little or no market value.

      Struck through grease is fairly common and as such, will not command a premium.
