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

    1945 Lincoln die crack or planchet problem?

    Do you think this is a die crack or planchet problem? I'm leaning towards planchet problem because why would dirt collect in the raised area of a die crack? In the close up photo you will see a sin I committed. While pondering this coin I thought perhaps I could feel the raised area or depression by dragging a pin across the problem area. I could not feel anything and scratched the coin with the pin Perhaps sharing my mistake will help others from ruining something with possible value in the future.

    Looks like a flawed planchet to me.
