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

    Dime Error

    In 2013 I purchased a $250 box of dime with the intention of looking for errors. Just recently I found several errors. What I found were many of the torches (bottom) have what appear to be I don" know what. I am asking your help in identifying these errors.

    It's a small blind-ended die crack. Nothing of any interest or value.

      Thank you Mr Diamond. I have the die crack from 50 sequential coins . They were in a box of 2500 dimes fresh from the mint I have many left to examine. Does the collection of sequential cracks add any value.

        A progression involving a die crack this small is unlikely to have any market value.
