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

  • 1982 D Kennedy half dollar

    Hello everyone, my question is this, why does this Kennedy have several complete design images from several different coins the oldest being a 1891 Brazilian 1/2 50 cent piece. A Philippines and also a Barber's complete obverse and reverse designs are clearly present. I haven't completed my examination but these are just a few. This isn't a joke. What, (if not that these are strikeovers as there are edge die alignment markers) could have caused this phenomena to occur? Thank you

    You lost me. I don't understand exactly what you're trying to say. Or maybe you need better pictures.

      You see are looking at complete Kennedy half dollar images on this coin. There are at least 3 other complete images of other coins of the same diameter on this coin. Two of the Kennedys obverses images is of the reverse of the 1891 Brazilian 1/2 50 cents coin and the obverse of a 1910 Barber half dollar. I understand that you cannot see any details so just imagine it being so and go from there. Thank you

        The images aren't like a picture. They are stretched, distorted, and hard to keep track of due to the Kennedy's image, metal distortion, and other stretched and distorted images of device designs from the other coins. Here is how I confirmed the 3 so far. By finding orientation points from images I could Then use images from the net to predict where design elements should be on the suspect coin. I have confirmed the identity of 3 complete coins using this method but there are at least two more to be identified

            How exactly have you confirmed it. If you have confirmed it, why are you asking us?

              My question above was other than strikeovers how ELSE might this phenomenon occur. I ask this in order to rule out other any other possibilities I haven't thought of. I'm trying to be as thorough in my investigation as possible before I consider further action. We know there are other coins with more than one strikeover and We know that there are strikeovers with reverses on obverses. I'm just taking this a step further by stating that this half dollar has more than two. I understand that it's hard to imagine one existing, but I'm not stating anything that isn't already been proven to exist. What I can't find is a precedent for this. No price guide, no further information to be found externally is a problem. Any information would be helpful at this point.

              Thank you
