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

    1864 BZ Indian Head Cent No L With Die Clashes

    Hi gang--I'm new to IHC's.....curious if Die Clashes are important in the series? This specimen has an "axe" shaped raised clash at the eyelid up to the lower headband(the shiny line in front of the eye itself is a hitmark--they look tied together, but they are not)...looks like he's about to get hit with an axe!!!....using my tongs, the clash reverts to revers of the ribbon area...clash looks to match the area there...strong clashing on both sides, just hard to shoot, as you know. Heavy clashing under STATES, and into headband, reverse shows incuse clash under bow, and under C in CENT.......I suppose oak wreath issues.....secondary digits of the 6 and 4 are evident to the south of the primary digits, as shown in cherrypickers guide....
    Thanks.

    Despite your enthusiasm for them, these are not particularly strong clash marks. I wouldn't expect them to carry much of a premium.

      Clash

      Funny...the Morgan-Peace VAM collectors would go Bigtime NUTS over something like this hatchethead clash..they get flustered over a 1/132" die scratch for cryin outloud.......IHC collectors must be a subdued crowd....if anyone knows where to find a computer overlay obverse/reverse for IHC clashes, I'd love to bookmark it.
      I discovered the IKE reverse "Eye Clash" in 2007..it's boring, but, it still was fun to figure it out, and, it's a name recognition clash now in the IKE world.

        I agree. VAMers are a peculiar bunch. It seems they'll catalog any blemish on a die, no matter how small or commonplace.
