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

    1957 Lincoln possible strike thru?

    I think o'l Abe may have a splitting headache and has seen better days. It looks like a halftrack or tank tread ran over his face.

    Not sure about the tank tread looking items on his head, but it's definitely has a lot of die cracks on the head of Lincoln.

    Are the tracks raised or are they sunk into Lincoln ?
    Is there any sign of damage the reverse of the coin in the same general area?

    It could be a lamination issue or, it could be a struck though as well. The last possibility is...

    I think I remember something like this many years ago. I believe I was told it was some sort of damage associated with the movement of coins from one location to another, like the conveyor or chutes or something like that. This may have occurred in the route the coin took after it was struck and on its way to bagging. This coin looks uncirculated.
