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

    1971 and 72 brown box Ike

    I have 2 very bad pictures (need help on a camera mine sometimes won't go to this mag>) 1 is a 71 s brown box Ike the other is a 72 brown box Ike the pictures should show on the bottom of the cross bars of the "A" and the bottom of the Left leg and the cross bar and the inside through the left leg of the "R" of the obverse in Dollar. very hard to see but it looks like a double punch? any thoughts? Thank you David

      Really tough to tell in these pictures. There are about 25 known DDR's for 1971 and Several for 1972. You should try and get some higher quality photos and repost them. I do have the Authoritative Reference of Eisenhower Dollars Second Edition by Wexler, Crawford and Flynn here but its simply just a guess at this point with those photos. Also could you take a picture of the whole coin. There are several PUP's (Pick up Points) to look at when looking for a certain variety.

        Thank you jamez. I have a couple of different ways to take pictures but what is actually a good camera? I guess instead of just buying them I should read up on it! Thanks I will do that and then take some better pictures.

          Well I don't do anything fancy here so probably the wrong person to answer this.

          I use a basic point and shoot camera with a good macro setting. Canon 1100. I attach it to a security camera stand that I had left over from a job I did to make my shots steady. set the timer for 2 seconds and push the button.. wait about 3 seconds and I have my full photo. For really close up shots, I purchased a USB QZ7 camera, its actually for kids I believe but does the job for my needs. It has 10x, 60x and 200x settings and cost like $80. I can zoom in and see it on my computer screens.

          Here are two shots.. the first with the Canon, the second with the QX7



          I then use Photoscape to crop the pictures
