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

  • 2023 jovita idar quarter ddo

    Am I correct about this being a ddo I checked Variety Vista and found no reported ddo to compare this with...

    I believe that I found a class 9 double die obverse on a 2023 jovita idar quarter. The doubling is in the earlobe area also the sideburn and the curls behind the ear, I have included a photo with red arrows pointing to the areas I believe for doubled I apologize if I've missed any areas.

    Hello,

    In my opinion, from what I can see from the photos it looks like the coin suffers from some mechanical damage. I tried to zoom in super close with the tablet but, it was getting grainy/fuzzy.

    There weren't many documented listings available. Conecaonline.info is currently listing varieties, but this takes time. Varietyvista has a few at a quality assurance level about the same as CONECA.

    I looked at
    http://varietyvista.com/09f%20WQ%20V...20Listings.htm

    For the record, I am not fond of the single squeeze era nor ear, eye varieties or zinc cents.

    Give the post a few days to get more opinions.

    Happy hunting

        As for photo taking, I can suggest that photos be taken as follows:

        IF you are using a phone:

        Find a box, about 6x6 or 8x8.
        Place the box on the table.
        Place the coin on the table, close to the base of the box.
        Place the phone on top of the box and turn on the camera app.
        Carefully slide the phone toward the edge so the camera can see the coin.
        Adjust the coin closer if need be.
        You can zoom in, but do not make the photo blurry at all.
        Make sure there is no glare on the coin, use a lamp vice flash from the phone.
        With the phone on the top of the box, you can stabilize the phone with one hand.
        Gently tap the shutter to take a photo.

        In the text area where you add a post, just to the top left , is a camera icon.
        That will toggle on/off the upload buttons.

        Photos are best saved as JPG.
        The photos on this website have to be less than 2mb each.
        You should be able to upload 8 photos per post.
        If more photos are needed, you can reply to your post and add more photos.

        If you have a photo editing app on the phone, if need be, crop most of the background out of the photo.
        You should be able to draw a box around the coin.
        From there use the cropping tool to remove any unnecessary background.
        The cropping tool can look like a bent square.
