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

    199? Lincoln Memorial Cent struck through grease or PMD?

    Found this 199? LMC hunting a box on cents. Not sure if it is struck through grease or goo or PMD. I am thinking PMD, just want some input. Thank you

      Thank You, was not sure I normally just look for RPM's and known varieties and errors. First one found since I started searching boxes of cents over a year ago.

        Congrats. I agree, I was looking at this earlier and I was a little concerned about the reverse, but the coin is a classic strike through and a pretty dramatic one at that. I cant tell the date, but I know there were a LOT of these in 1960 from Denver.

          With a weight of 2.51g it is a post 1982. FYI I think I can make out part of the second 9.

            Understood. Plus the portrait of Lincoln is in the zinc style.

            I opened up a 1960-D bag I bought from California. In the mix was about 100 strike throughs. I picked out about 30 of them that I could tell were close to the same caliber and made a small video of it. I slabbed 20 or 30 of them and I have them as a "set". Strike throughs like yours that are dramatic are a neat conversational piece.

              I was wondering the weight too cuz it looks like 1961. Does look zinc though, so maybe 1990?

                Under the scope I can almost make out what looks like a second nine but not 100%
