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

  • 1966 Kennedy half DDO

    I wanted to show a 1966 Kennedy half that I found earlier this evening, I believe a class III design, doubleing strongest on the front profile,chin, lips, back corner of mouth, eye ball, eye lid, separation of hair strands above forehead. I'm not sure the variety listing yet still searching.

        Hamilton...is this a SMS, it looks like one? You should be able to identify the die from the listings...James has listed some very good markers for the SMS doubled profiles.

          While finding 1966 DO Kennedy's is always an intense pleasure, identifying which one it might be can really drive you nuts!

          If you have the CONECA Kennedy Attribution book, try to locate the variety there, otherwise, send it to James Wiles for positive identification. Its inexpensive and correct.

                    Very nice coin. Just for clarification; grade pertains to the condition of the coin and has a scale of 1 to 70, with 1 being poor and the top 10 grades (MS-60 to MS-70) referring to mint specimens.

                    To identify an anomaly on a coin, it is referred to as an attribution, with an assigned filing number to identify that particular die that the anomaly occurred on.

                      Pennycat...aren’t these 1966 SMS doubled profile half dollars a lot of fun? I think they are because there are so many dies, and being able to attribute the dies using the markers in the CONECA listing makes them the most fun of all the Kennedy series. Are you able to see the stage B, EMDS marker on yours...the light die clash through DOL of DOLLAR (see attached photo)? It is kind of hard to see, and the clash marks didn’t last very long has the die was being used. Another marker that can be seen on the stage B and the LDS’s of the DDO-010 is two parallel die scratches north east of the first 6 (see attached photo).

                              Jello...if you check the CONECA listings, there are 42 listed in the 66 Kennedy series...36 DDO's and 6 DDR's.
