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

    1989 Cent with two flattened edges

    I have been trying to figure out how this coin's edges got flattened. If it was post strike damage, wouldn't it be flattened on opposing edges? Could you shed some light on the cause of this damage? I carefully balanced it in the opening of a pair of pliers so you could see the edge detail.

    It's definitely post-strike damage. It's not important to figure out exactly how it was done.

      Is this a coin worth saving or is it basically junk?

        Anything post mint as far as damage has a value of the denomination and that is about it.
