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

    Shattered die nickel

    I found this is a mixed bankroll a few weeks ago. The year is actually 1983. This is the best picture I could get. What do you guys think? Shattered die, or not?

    Heavy clash marks. The dies smacked into each other when a planchet failed to be fed into the striking chamber.

      Oh, I see it! Very cool! I've wanted one of those for a while. Even if it's not a shattered die, it's a nice roll find!

      Thanks, Mike!

        So, do you know what one like that would be worth? I don't wanna sell it, just curious. My book says $5-$10 and up, but is that a lot more than mine is worth?

          The clash is quite strong but the coin grades only AU at best. I'd say $10 is in the ballpark.

            Thanks again! The coin doesn't seem to be quite AU. There are several contact marks and some wear. When you see it in person, it looks like VF-XF. I'll mark it at $5 just to be safe, so no one takes it to CoinStar sometime in the future.

            I have another Jeff that looks like it could be a laminated die, rather than a laminated planchet. I'll get pics up here sometime this week. I might be completely off again!
