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

    After 1982, the copper bronze coins were converted to copper plated zinc cents, the top layer should be copper with a zinc center. I look at the front and see light wear on the head. You can see a little amount of bright copper which means the coin transitioned from the color red brown, to the now nearly brown.

    In order for this to be a zinc cent with out the copper core plating, i think you would see a lot more silver to blue colors. I only see medium wear and copper, like a normal coin.

    ​​​​​​​Después de 1982, las monedas de cobre y bronce se convirtieron en centavos de zinc recubiertos de cobre; la capa superior debía ser de cobre con un centro de zinc. Miro al frente y veo un ligero desgaste en la cabeza. Se puede ver una pequeña cantidad de cobre brillante, lo que significa que la moneda pasó del color marrón rojizo al ahora casi marrón.

    Para que esto sea un centavo de zinc sin el revestimiento del núcleo de cobre, creo que se verían muchos más colores plateados y azules. Sólo veo desgaste medio y cobre, como una moneda normal.
