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

    1994 Lincoln Cent

    I just got this in my change yesterday. Not sure whether it's a die clash or a multiple die break cuds. ????? First instinct said die clash.
    Reverse strike looks all normal. This coin has seen its share of circulation for sure.

    All of that is the copper plating lifting from the zinc core.

      Mustbebob, Wow, that never occurred to me. So are they gas bubbles that are the cause? Or is it a planchet flaw? What had me perplexed are the two marks by the L in LIBERTY.

        Could have been that a small nick took in some water and the zinc core started to corrode. It is a very fast process once it starts. The possibility of it being a planchet flaw is also possible, but looking at your coin makes me think it was a post strike occurrence. The anomalies you see near the L of LIBERTY are all part of this issue.
