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

    1878 VAM-9 First Morgan Die found today

    Here's a neat find....took it home due to excessive obverse and reverse doubling....reading the VAM page...gets interesting...mine has the classic DDR/DDO, with heavy notching all over...letters, stars, motto, you name it....plus, a double eyelid....the small square "spike" below lid...and, a large "dot"...where the other spike is to be...the spike is in the middle of "being born"...you can see it's tail forming in the last pic, heading from the dot, back to the eye, very light.....cool stuff......... Reverse has The A1c reverse..with classic extra feathers...the F has the classic extra-metal Blob at bottom....the diecrack thru date is very thin...another EDS clue.....a lot of matchups to the VAM 9 also, "comma feather reverse"........the G in GOD is closed...R in TRUST is NOT broken....and classic die polish lines in cotton bolls.....now I see this....which makes a LOT of sense, though my dots are a little off...1878 VAM-14.12 Eye Dots.........OK guys...who is THE best TPG for VAM Morgans????? Thanks...
