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

    Mint error

    Good evening! Happy New Year! It's been a long time since I've been on here, well I came across a mint error and have somewhat a clue of what this is. I'm thinking a struck through grease. I'm not for sure.

    The obverse image is quite blurred, making a definitive diagnosis impossible. From the looks of it, it is more likely a capped die strike. The bust of Lincoln looks enlarged. If so, this would be a counterbrockage. If not, then it's a generic capped die strike from a late-stage die cap.
