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

  • Dime and nickel need help

    I found 2 coins in curious to know about. 1 is a wartime 1943 P coming apart ? The other is a 70 dime copper showing on the sides and the (rim) is high. Sorry I don’t know the language yet, but would appreciate any information or knowledge anyone has!

      The top left of the page shows the Forums tab. Under there, most of the posts about coins in general are supposed to be in the Varieties ( Re-punched mint marks, doubled dies, over mint marks, re-punched dates, misplaced dates etc) and the Errors (lamination, off center, mis-aligned dies, double struck, wrong planchet, struck-through, die cracks, BIE and others) forums.

      If that dime has a slightly higher rim than normal, it might have been in a high heat drier, aka a drier coin. The heat warms them up and the rotating drum allows them to free fall and land on a metal surface so eventually the reeding would be beaten away.

      I agree with Bob, these coins in the end, are simply, damaged.
