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

  • Are any of these errors?

    I'm new to this hobby and to this forum. I have some coins that may be of the error type.
    Are any of these significant or even insignificant errors?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Nope. What you have are common characteristics found on post-1982 cents. Gas bubbles, shifting of the plating to expose the zinc, etc..

        The two technical terms to describe the supposed doubling are: Split Line Doubling and Plating Split Doubling. It can be rather pronounced when seen on a collarless broadstruck coin or sometimes on an off-center struck coin. But it is very common on Lincolns in the late '80s until the mid '90s - but really is on any plated Lincoln.
