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

    198? Lincoln cent oddity

    I am not quite sure what to make of this Lincoln cent. I am fairly sure it is not a grease strike, however, it may be even with both the obverse and reverse affected.





    Are there any other ideas as to what has happened to this cent?

    It would be a grease strike of some sort, although the substance seems to have been a bit grittier than usual. There also might be some blistered plating on the obverse.

      Struck through a thick layer of grease.
