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

    In my opinion, very common normal die chips.
    No clash. Clashes tend to be on the field (flat area of the coin).
    Die chips are so common that people tend not to collect unless they are dramatic.

    Die cracks happen when a once decent die would strike close to a million cents or so, it's near the end of its service life. It's quite common,and eventually expected. In my opinion, this is not a typical error, more than a condition which elvoves over time. Errors are typically done by human intervention or a minting process gone wrong.

          Oh, back to the wheat penny, is there any explanation for the wheat seeds to be incused, especially on the right side?
