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.

    1936 Proof Cherry Picked!!

    I bought a can of wheaties at a yard sale a few weeks ago. I payed 20 bucks for a coffee can of pennies that actually had 31 dollars in pennies in it. anyways, I only go through 100 pennies a day. I have found some really good coins so far. 1910 S, 1914 S and 4 1909 vdb's. Still I found this 1936 and something just seemed different. It was in amazing condition compared to the batch. I took it down to a coin shop where I know the owner and he used to work for ANACS back in the 90's for 6 years and he told me the penny is actually a TYPE 2 Satin Proof 1936. I just sent it out to PCGS yesterday. I hope it works out!

    It is easiest to determine a proof from a business strike through and examination of the rims and edges of the coin. From the enclosed photos I just cannot tell - I hope you're correct and nice find!

      Yep I agree, I took this picture with my digiscope and the coin is raised and tilting down so I can show more detail. The rims are squared off like they should be and thanks for the advice I hope it works out too.
