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

    1962 D reverse gouge

    Hi, this is the first post I've made, I read this forum nearly every day and enjoy the interaction and sharing of your experts. I was searching a roll of 1962 D lincolns the other night and came across, one with a good sized gouge from the reverse about where the designers intial should be, also within the gouge impression of the letter O. how did this happen, Any ideas??

    It appears to have been struck through a struck fragment of metal.

      Thank You Mike: If I understand correctly a small piece of metal was caught up between previous planchet and die letter O was struck on the piece of metal then remained there to then strike this particular coin planchet.

        That's possible. It's also possible that a stray scrap of metal entered the striking chamber by itself and was struck. It then stayed behind as another planchet was fed in on top of it.
