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

  • 1998 Lincoln Penny Lamination Plating Error

    Here is a 1998-P Lincoln Penny with a Plating/Lamination Error. Right of Lincoln's forehead the Copper Plating is broken away from the penny. Interestingly, the coined letters still have the copper on them. However, all around the letters is the exposed zinc core of the penny.

    It is kind of a "What the H" thing.

    This coin appears to be soiled or glue marks, nothing more or less ...

      What?

      I do not know what coin you were looking at....BUT....this coin DOES NOT have glue or soiled areas. The lighter area of the coin IS without copper plating, period, and the lighter area is pure zinc.

      I am curious as to how you came to the conclusion that the coin is soiled or has glue on it. What indicated this to you? You cannot see the edge of the copper, you cannot see the lighter zinc area on the coin photo that is angled? You cannot see the darker copper on the three letter? You cannot see the surface difference between the letters and the surrounding light zinc area? That would be the first photo.
