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

  • 2007 D John Quincy Adams Dollar error

    Found this a few days ago in a new uncirculated roll from the bank. It's been struck at least twice. And it looks as though you can see some lettering on the obverse rim. What type of error would this be??

    In my opinion, it may just be a partial collar. This does not look like a double strike as none of the devices show any indication of doubling.

    It could be a rim issue, possibly introduced when the coin went through the upsetting mill.

    is the edge lettering intact ?

      Yes the rim is intact and is curled up a bit. Along the rim it looks as though lite lettering can be seen

        This is a question for Gary as well as a possible answer for the thread. I had seen something similar (Not exact) a few years ago, but could directly attribute it to damage from a rolling machine as I was there when it was being rolled. So Gary...in your endeavors, have you ever seen rolling machine damage that presents itself like this? I could be way off base here, so I thought I would throw it out there.

          mustbebob I have seen rolling machine damage, and this very well could be the case, but it is quite extreme. There are indicators on the face of the coin as well which look like hints from a rolling machine, the halo looking streaks.

          yeah,, let's just say this past week for me has been a train wreck.
          Bob, your answer may be the more logical one.
