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

    It looks like a linear plating blister.

      Please explain a linear plating blister, what is it, what causes it, how it is different from a die crack, how one can tell the difference between a die crack and a blister.

        Linear plating blister in simple words, is a long gas bubble!! The cause I think one of the others may explain in full detail!!!

          Gas expands during the strike, pushing up loosely-adherent copper plating. A gas bubble will have blunt edges and a puffy appearance while a die crack will be narrow, sharply defined, and often jagged.
