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

    Abes face

    I sent this coin to Wexler but it never arrived so the only thing I have is the pics to go by.

    The upper lip seems swollen and extends east into the cheek area. The cheekbone seems to protrude more than normal. There are no dents, scratches etc. Anyone have an idea what it is?

    I insured when I sent and am tearing my place apart looking for the slip. I have no idea how to recover the package without the paperwork.

    Abe's face does look strange. However, without the coin there is very little that can be done.

      So my wife comes in last night with the package from Wexler with the five coins I sent to him. She had the coins for two days forgetting them. The coin in question here is from struck through fabric and is my first.Quote from Wexler " "is a 2009 FY cent with several struck through errors on both the obverse and the reverse. It was struck through fibers. The number of fiber impressions on both the obverse and the reverse is really impressive." A new learning experience for me as I thought a lot of the impressions were dirt and grime.

      One coin was a rolling fold error and another was a minor double die reverse that had not been listed. It is now filed as 2003 1 c WDDR-032 in Wexlers new listing the other two were not errors.

        Many types of planchet errors and planchet damage are often misidentified as rolling fold (blanking burr) errors. Show us a photo when you get a chance.

          a pic

          Beginning just west of the "I" and continuing east to the "E" it is beveled from the rim to the field with the designs imprinted in the field and the bevel,
          there is no raised metal as in a cud. Just above the "st" in trust and continuing to the east to the tip of the bust is metal folded over from the from the outside edge of the rim to the inside edge not going into the field.

            Your photos are too small and your description too unclear to be of any use. It would also be helpful if you would crop your photos.
