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

  • 1985-D Lincoln Cent Post Mint Damage?

    This 1985-D cent has all kinds of reverse letters on obverse, and, vica-versa...the vise-grip squeeze marks on rim lead me tobelieve a squueze job, post mint job..opinions welcome.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I'm no expert but would give my 1c comment (accuracy unguaranteed and at the lower level of confidence).

    Nice coin. Seemed to be a doubled denom coin???
    With a primary strike by a cent die? 2ndary strike on the overse by a reverse of a quarter's die? The bars seemed to be reedings? There should be design elements from the quarter on the edges of the coin. One notable reference is the faint word 'DOLLAR' (possibly from the words 'QUARTER DOLLAR')
    along the coin's edge above Lincoln's head. See if you can recognize.
    Have not totally looked deeper on your reverse. Would assume the reverse was hit by a quarter's overse.

    Again, nice coin, nice find.

      As you correctly concluded, this is an obvious "squeeze job".
