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

    1955-S Lincoln cent struck on an Improper Alloy Mix planchet

    Here is a nice example of a 1955-S Lincoln cent struck on an Improper Alloy Mix planchet. Brassy-gold streaks dominate the obverse of the coin while the reverse is more subdued. This is the nicest one I've seen on a 1955-S which is a date where I've seen many other nice examples of this error type. In fact the second nicest example I've seen was also on a 1955-S that I sold years ago and later wished that I would have kept. I found this one at the table of Richard Bateson of Michigan at the MSNS Fall Convention. These are often referred to as a "woodie."
