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

    Lincoln cent 1991. Error.

    This coin has the characteristics of the planet, it is flattened at the poles and tight at the equator. this anomaly could happen in the minting.

    In my opinion, it's a mis-aligned die on the obverse. It's often called a MAD.
    Mis-aligned dies typically happen only on one side of the coin, where as off-center typically affects both sides, as the same compass point.

    En mi opinión, es un troquel desalineado en el anverso. A menudo se le llama MAD.
    Los troqueles desalineados generalmente ocurren solo en un lado de la moneda, mientras que el descentrado generalmente afecta a ambos lados, como el mismo punto de la brújula.

      I will explain better, I have coins like this one but their diameter does not vary, they remain at 19 mm. This coin has 19 mm x 18,80. It is normal that this variation happens in the minting.

        look at the rim all the way around, see if anything weird happened.
        Look to see if it the same thickness as another Lincoln cent. It could be a slightly tapered planchet.
        Last thing it might be is it was not inserted correctly within the collar when the coin was struck.

        BUT to me, this looks like a MAD. Misaligned dies are off just a bit and typically do not lose any of the design features. The measurements would support a MAD, since it is slightly off, when the working die was inserted into the minting press.

        Remember, the planchet has the rim on it prior to the strike, and the working die is simply a round piece of metal with a design incused or sunk into the working die. It has to be lined up perfect in order to see "normal" coins. If its not lined up right, a MAD will occur.


        Mire el borde en todos sus lados, vea si sucedió algo extraño.
        Mire para ver si tiene el mismo grosor que otro centavo de Lincoln. Podría ser una plancha ligeramente ahusada.
        Lo último que podría pasar es que no se haya insertado correctamente en el collar cuando se acuñó la moneda.

        PERO para mí, esto parece una locura. Los troqueles desalineados están ligeramente desviados y normalmente no pierden ninguna de las características de diseño. Las medidas respaldarían un MAD, ya que está ligeramente desviado cuando se insertó el troquel de trabajo en la prensa de acuñación.

        Recuerde, la plancha tiene el borde antes del golpe, y el troquel de trabajo es simplemente una pieza redonda de metal con un diseño grabado o hundido en el troquel de trabajo. Tiene que estar perfectamente alineado para poder ver monedas "normales". Si no está alineado correctamente, se producirá un MAD.
