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

    Dateless Nickle

    Hello guy's this is my first post. I found this Nickle yesterday and I'm trying to figure out what's really wrong with it. To start it looks like it can be stucked on foreign planchet it's smaller than a regular nickle and weights 4.30 grams same thickness and a bit bigger than a dime. It's also missing all letters on coin and looks like it can have a plating issue on both sides as well. Can anyone help me with this. Thanks in advance for the help.

    That is a typical dryer coin. I recently found out from my own change, it could also be a washer coin. Had some change stuck in the crack of my washer that turned into what looked like a dryer coin, but it was in my washer. Lol

    Either way, its PMD. Spend it

      Thanks Kloccwork419, that was my initial impression but do dryer coins shrink in size as well?
