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

    1961 D Lincoln cent ???

    I found this 1961 D Lincoln cent while searching bu rolls a few years back and just came upon it again recently and am wondering just how this happened, the obverse has a partial image of the reverse memorial thru the center, I counted 9 partial colums , partial steps, and partial letter O on lower left bust. Not a clashed die, as the discribed are incused, so another coin has to have been involved. How would this have happened ?? The reverse of the coin seems normal

    It is called a squeeze job. Two coins are placed together and pressure is applied. It produces a mirror image of the opposing coin on the other coins surface. It is not an error coin since the alterations occurred outside of the Mint.

      Thank You BJ, I'll mark it as post mint damage. It certainly didn't seem to follow any logical error.
