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

    very interesting James Madison





    I am trying to show here a patch of silver on the surface of the coin. I believe this could be a lamination error or a retained strike through?

      Very interesting indeed since this Madison appears to have morphed into a James Monroe!

      I have nothing contructive to offer regarding this patch except for you to consider that possibly a scap of some other metal was on the planchet at striking time.

      With copper nickel coins, copper bits are often times pressed into the surface of the coins given the impression of a bad alloy mix.
