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

    I’m here again seeking some assistance, I ran across this varslab.com on a graded PCGS coin on line, I was wondering if they only do work for grading houses or can individuals sent in coins to have this service done, I tried getting in touch with them to ask this question and never got a response so I’m hoping someone here can help me out with this.

    In my opinion, they used to do just Morgan and Peace Dollar varieties (VAM's), but I see they have expanded to other denominations as well. They used to take already graded and slabbed Morgans and Peace Dollars and attribute them for people. I have never sent anything into them, so I do not know their process or fees. They typically attribute them and then add a sticker on the reverse of the existing slab, if it was a VAM.

    It would be a smart thing to keep pinging their email address they have on their website before sending anything in. Ask if they do your type of coin, fees for services and return shipping and average turn around time.
