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

    1966 silver DDR quarter

    Hi All,
    I got a 1966 no mint mark from a $20 bill to $20 quarters exchange for our laundry. I looked at it under a microscope and found suspicious DDR on United States of America. Would I get some advice if this is a DDR? All letters look fat and spread ends. I've attached some pictures here. I thank you in advance to those who will provide me the advice.

    Based on the photos you included, I could not identify any doubled die. Fat (or extra thick lettering) has many causes including worn dies and circulation wear and/or damage. I think that is what you have here.

      I thank you for the advice since I am so new to identify varieties. Anyway, it weighs 5.73 (after calibration my 2 scales), and I think it a silver with some sort of BU on it as well. Again thanks.

        Still a nice find!
        I'd take sliver at face value any day!

          1966 quarters were clad. They were not silver.
