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

    Strike Thru Wire

    I found this strike thru wire with the piece of wire still attached. Is it common to find a strike thru with the object still attached? This is on the reverse of a 70D Kennedy Half Dollar.

    Thank You

    That is a cool find!

    A while back, I found an SMS Sac dollar with a black rubbery blob on the reverse. I pulled it off - unearthing a pretty deep crater. But I recently learned that pulling it off was a mistake. I was told that strike thru errors with the debris still imbedded/attached are more valuable (and interesting). So - I'm happy to see that you left the wire debris in place.

    Thanks for posting it.
