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

    Forged 44 steel?

    This coin weighs 3.1 grahams but if it’s not on the scale and flipped over to the reverse next to a 43 you can’t tell the difference in color. Is this a forgery or an attempt at a steel 44? If so what to do with it I’ve got some new ammo I’ve been itching to try out lol

    Could have been plated or painted. Let us know how the ammo works!

      Thanks for the weight.
      That is spot on for a copper cent.
      Steel cents are typically 2.7x grams if I remember correctly.
