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

    1956D Is this the Holy Grail?

    I believe I found the holy grail of wheat cents. What's your thoughts?

        Die413, it's helpful to include a description of what you are referring to. Or at least the variety number you think it is.

          Evening DLE413,
          To me these photo's are out of focus first. Please check your photo's by opening them up in what you are using to crop/size before you post.

          The only possiblility, I see; is a die crack through the 956, but since the person did not leave arrows, or a description; I really do not have any idea either.
          Sorry,
          Eric

            Its his first ever wheat cent. He got excited. He had that P word experiance. The P word, that one that makes you awestruck, briefly. Pariadolia?

                Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't paradolia when you see faces in things? Is that what you're referring to?

                  Yes! He may have thought he saw Jesus or a jackrabbit or something in Lincolns jacket.
