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

    2000 cent damage ?

    Hi all

    Reverse edges appeared to be folded over and smooth similar to a pie crust, obverse is nearly untouched. Do you think it is mint or post damage?

    Thanks for looking

    A clear case of post-strike damage.

        Thanks guys... I couldn't fathom what would cause this uniform impression, stretching and folding of the layer.

        thanks again

          Did you buy this thing off Ebay ? There were a few sellers that sold the things they were making on Ebay and they got temporaly shut down , I saw one of them was trying to still slip one in ever now and then. Don't buy anything if it has a backwards and sunken in impression of another coin or or a impression of something else unless you know what you are doing. anyone can make those worthless things in a matter of seconds.

            Hi Rascal, no I did not purchase this. I received it as change, not sure when. I've been saving pennies in a 5 gallon water jug for 10 years or so. I just recently started going through them, let me tell ya, you have to through pounds of coins to even find MD's. Just as I'm getting sick of searching I find something.

            Every thing I post is from hours of searching with the exception of mint sets.
