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

    The wheat stock Error

    Hi guys, my name is Jake. I am new here. I have been looking forward to posting this 1953. Lincoln cent I believe it is a new discovery error. If I can get some input on this that would be great. has anyone ever seen anything like this ? Looks like the wheat stock was stamped over the right wheat ear Let me know what you think. Thanks

    I think they call that a clash die. I am not a paid member.

      Hi Jake, that looks to be a die crack. It also appears to be rim to rim or very close to it. If this die was allowed to continue to mint coins, over time or number of strikes that piece of the die would more than likely break out of the reverse or anchor die. That missing area would then create what is called a Cud.

        what he said.

        also, there is an interim step between crack and cud and that is a retained cud which this one is very close to.

        i'll add, pretty nice pic and what a nice die break. would love to see one on a mint state example!
