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 1983 D. Die Crack.

    He estado leyendo (cud sobre moneda) del Sr. Stevens y hay algunas cosas que no entiendo, por ejemplo, cuando dice de grietas inusuales quiere decir que el dado colapsó o es anormal que ocurra este daño, en la moneda que expongo en el anverso y reverso tiene grietas de todo tipo, podría haber colapsado el dado, he intentado hacer algunas buenas fotos aunque hay grietas que no he podido enfocar bien además solo puedo subir 8 fotos, espero que sirvan.

    I have been reading (cud on coin) by Mr. Stevens and there are some things that I do not understand, for example, when he says unusual cracks, he means that the die collapsed or it is abnormal for this damage to occur, in the coin that I expose on the obverse and the back has cracks of all kinds, the die could have collapsed, I have tried to take some good photos although there are cracks that I have not been able to focus well, I can also only upload 8 photos, I hope they are useful



    Dies are pretty resilient, they can last close to 1 million strikes on a Lincoln cent working die. The cracks can be on the surface, and sure, over time they can splinter and become bigger.

    One has to understand how big the dies were back then. The size I guess would be between a quarter and half dollar stock, and the image of the coin centered on this. Here is a dated photo of a working die of a dime (10 cents).

    If the working die has some small cracks, it might be just a little time longer before they are replaced. Sure, there are some with large cuds, that have had a piece of the die removed, so that area of the planchet would be slightly higher than the area that would have the die intact. The area with the missing die part has no way to squeeze the dies together, and with the die broken, it would be slightly risen, and that area would be blank.

    IF you need to add more photos to a post, you can reply to your post, and add more photos.


    Los troqueles son bastante resistentes, pueden durar cerca de 1 millón de golpes en un troquel de trabajo de un centavo de Lincoln. Las grietas pueden estar en la superficie y, con el tiempo, pueden astillarse y agrandarse.




    Uno tiene que entender qué tan grandes eran los troqueles en ese entonces. El tamaño, supongo, sería entre una acción de un cuarto y medio dólar, y la imagen de la moneda se centró en esto. Aquí hay una foto fechada de un dado de trabajo de una moneda de diez centavos (10 centavos).



    Si el troquel de trabajo tiene algunas grietas pequeñas, es posible que pase un poco más de tiempo antes de que se reemplacen. Claro, hay algunos con grandes bolos, a los que se les ha quitado un trozo del troquel, por lo que el área del planchet sería un poco más alta que el área que tendría el troquel intacto. El área en la que falta la parte del troquel no tiene forma de juntar los troqueles, y con el troquel roto, se elevaría ligeramente y esa área estaría en blanco.
