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

    Need help with this 2001 Vermont Quarter !!

    I recently found a 2001 Vermont quarter in my pocket change and, after looking at it, I noticed that the entire word "UNITED" and the "I" in Liberty were completely missing from the obverse, and the date "2001" was missing on the reverse. I think this is a grease error during casting, but is this something more valuable? I welcome your thoughts...

    Welcome to the Forum. You posted in the "New Members Introduce Yourself" section of the forum. There is another place better suited for your question. However, as you noted, your coin is a strike through error....probably grease or some other foreign substance that got between the planchet and the die. You use the term "casting" which is incorrect terminology. The appropriate term to be used is striking. Thanks for your post!
