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

        Believe me, the laughing will stop when you pull a coin out of circulation that is worth $500.00 or so. More than likely, they will start looking also, LOL.

            That's what I'm hoping to do also. My wife thinks coins are only for spending and the thought of looking through them is stupid. I hope I find that coveted DDO/R that I can sell and shut her up (lol).

              Carol:
              Thank you for your generosity. I am looking for lesser value varieties (DDO, DDR, RPM) that I can use in the Ultimate Die Variety class. Please email me with what you have available. The idea is to mix them with a roll of normal coins and let the students "cherrypick" them and then attribute what they find.

                Brefos77, she won't think they are stupid the day you sell your 1988 RDV-006 transitional Lincoln cent. She'll want to be your best buddy, again.

                  James, do you want a few 1989 cent DDO's for that roll you are talking about? I have several.

                      eflecthe: I would appreciate the donation. The Ultimate Varieties class has been designed to give the students hands on time, searching rolls and then attributing their finds. It helps if I have the coins ahead of time and can know the "answers" before the students do!
