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

  • Strange State Quarter Error

    Hi gang!

    I came across this coin recently. It looks like something was between the clad layers... but it almost looks like it was a wire... any thoughts?

    It's an impression of a steel bristle from a rotating descaling brush. It was probably sandwiched between the obverse clad layer and the core. The bristle fell out after the strike or after rolling of the strip was completed.

      It looks like part of it is still embedded in the coin down through the "Y" in "Liberty" and out into the field.

      Thanks Mike!

        Nice error coin. Mike's assessment as per usual is right on the money.

        WELCOME BACK MIKE

          I'm not actually "back". Once in a great while I will respond to a post that interests me. I am otherwise a non-participant. I continue to host my own forum and participate regularly on a few others.
