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

    1946 50C WDDR-001

    Found this roll surfing and it only took 30 rolls to find it so it really shows just how many of these that you have to go thru just to find something BUT there are still out there. These were purchased thru very well-known silver supplier (I don't know if we are allowed to mention other businesses without permission).
    I do believe it's the FS-801. It shows the very strong class 1 CCW spread on EPU, The left-wing feathers, pine needles and "U" of UNITED. I believe this is Stage "B".

    I think I can see what you are talking about. With the lighting where it is, on E PLURIBUS UNUM try looking at the coin in 90 degree angles. I don't know if that will help enhance the doubling or not. It's very difficult to get the lighting just right on circulated coins. The coins wear causes the doubled die to loose some of its drama. IF there is any chance at a slightly better photo at one of those 90-degree angles,post it ! It would be appreciated. Some times all it takes is the right angle and eureka it can still show off the doubling nicely.

    Great Photos.

      Are these the 90°angle shots you were referring to? I tried to play with the lightning also to help show the doubling.

        The middle middle photo of EPU does the trick. Looks like a winner to me. Great photo.

        What I meant to say was, leave the lighting in one place and turn the coin in 90 degree steps. BUT, the repositioning of the lighting works too. In my opinion, lighting is the #1 patience buster. It can take a long time to get that perfect photo.

          Thanks now I'll know what you mean for next time when I post pictures. I've been playing with flashlight and a piece of white paper to soften the light as well as bouncing it off the ceiling back into the room anything to "stop" the glare-back on the coins.

          P.S. next month or two I am getting a Amscope so thankX 4 the tip.
