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

    2008 Mint Set

    Some clarification please.
    What is the difference between the picture of the "die crack" that was submitted back in June, of the Arizona Quarter and the Arizona Quarter "spike head" that was in the Numismatic News this past issue?
    Thanks for any help.

    "Spike head" or a "Spiked head" is just a dopey, unnecessary name for a die crack that penetrates the head.

      Thank you for the clarification.
      Must make sure I no longer save any "dopey" varieties, just correctly named ones.

        I never said die cracks were dopey, just the nicknames that are sometimes attached to them.
