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

    2015 kisatchie quarter

    Can someone explain what's going on with this coin?The coin looks like a sun burst, plus there's a bunch of area's on this coin that look doubled. Do you think it is a grease die, single squeeze doubling,or what do going on here. look real close at liberty and quarter dollar. Could it be just a old worn out die ?

      This is a very late die state coin suffering the effects of die deterioration; heavy die flow lines and "orange peel" surfaces, twisting and doubling of design. This is inherent to die use when it enters into very die stages (if a die lasts that long).

          Would have to see the coin for the ear thing. Maybe send it to Mike Ellis.
