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

    This is die damage. It looks like a combination of a die attrition error and burr that sometimes forms on the internal margin of such an error. A die attrition error develops when a misaligned die smacks repeatedly against the beveled entrance to the collar. This wears away the edge of the field portion of the die and sometimes the rim gutter. The year 1983 produced a bumper crop of die attrition errors among cents.
