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

    1975 1c D Cud - With a newly discovered bonus

    I was getting some items ready to sell today and noticed that this 1975 D 1c with a major die break appeared to have a rotated die as well. So I went ahead and did a careful measurement -- and it does have a rotated die. It is only about a 10 degree rotation -- but to me it adds just a little more interest to an already interesting coin. Having the coin slabbed straight on the obverse made the rotation obvious.



    Now that ebay required a front and back photo of certified coins, I imagine more than a few cherry-pickers will see what the seller has overlooked and get a great deal on a good die rotation.

    Even with the minor rotation, it is an awesome cud. I think the relatively minor rotation will not add a significant premium to an already nice coin. I think Mike made a comment in another thread about rotational errors being about 30 degrees to be significant.
