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

    Lincoln One Cent Split Planchet With Brockage?

    This is a split planchet but would this also be a Brockage? This is what I was told it was: " This error Lincoln Cent Split in 1/2 before strike, leaving a full brockage type INCUSE image on the inside of the split half.. of the split planchet."

    Ok what do you think?
    Last two pictures have regular cent for comparison.

    It's not a brockage. This is a rolled-thin or split-before-strike planchet that was fed into the striking chamber beneath another, presumably normal, planchet. The two were then struck together. The incuse, mirror-image design elements seen on the obverse face constitute a ghost image that bled through the thin metal from the reverse (anvil) die.
