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

    Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone could advise if this nickel appears to have a dropped letter or a die chip? Thanks in advance. I hope all is well. Andy

    A "dropped" design element will appear as being incused in the coin since it is an addition to the die. This looks like it is raised on the coin, so thus, not a propped design element.

      If the blemish is raised then it would most likely be a small die dent. If it is incuse, then it's probably a strike-thru error.
