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

    Did Somebody Screw up?

    I received the latest ErrorScope Magazine today and took note of the Errors and Varieties Sold the Chicago ANA Article.

    In that article regarding the 1942 DDR FS-801 Washington it states "...the most pronounced doubling appears to be at the tips of the wreath stems and in the letters ER D in QUARTER DOLLAR."

    I looked the coin up on PCGSCOINFACTS.COM and noted that the "most" pronounced doubling is actually on "S OF AM" in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and IBUS in "PLURIBUS".

    Did somebody not really look at the coin?

    It appears that doubling ( in the form of a doubled die) is predominant through all the peripheral lettering and somewhat towards the center.

    I do not think that it is a foul up, just one persons different perspective on what to look for.

      I understand that but its stuff just like this that can confuse certain folks. I would think that a certain amount of "fact checking" should occur before printing these "descriptions".
