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

    Interesting Lincoln Oddity

    I pulled this from an LP2 Formative Years Philadelphia Roll:





    Any thoughts on how this might have occured?

    Judging from the way light reflects off the field just medial to the indentation, it would appear that this area is pushed up slightly. That would be incompatible with a minting error. Please show us a photo of the reverse. That will be critical for our diagnosis.

      Sure Mike.



      And yes the coin appears "bent" slightly in this area. I have no doubt its PMD with a little OMG mixed in but find the PMD to be a bit odd since there do not appear to be any "hard" lines.

        As with most types of post-strike damage, there's no way to determine where, when, or by what the damage was inflicted.

          Ah yes, which is why I find this one a bit odd. It almost seems folded but whatever, I just thought I would share.
