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

    In my opinion, this is exactly how not to post. Why ?
    • The full coin photos have 90 percent background and 10 percent coin.
    • The full coin photos are too far away.
    • The single close up is too close. It looks damaged.
    • There are plenty of places to research coins and there appears to be little effort to help you or others that want to help you.
    • Provide links or at least a potential vatiety number, or really good guess.
    • Tell us where and what you are seeing so we can comprehend, rather than guess or assume.
    • This gave me the perception of some one spamming a coin forum, slapping coins down and saying what is it.
    • We dont have the denomination, year or even a single breath that they went to varietyvista.com or other website and tried to find a match.
    I will help folks who at least try to show they are helping.
    It can take quite some time to research these. It appears you want others to do all the work. I will pass.

    If there is little to no effort on any original posters side, then, there will be little to no effort on my side.

    I can guess that i will not be the only one to say some of this. Some of the other seasoned coin collectors, dealers and self attributors who give opinions will simply pass on posts like these.

    There is a post below in my signature that is a sticky post on this forum.
    It was intended to make people aware what might be a good way to post. Its the link which ends in.....help us help you.

        You may have said your pictures suck, but nobody said that here. People here help people that are willing to learn and eventually, in turn can help others. Hopefully you find a local coin club, coin dealer or other source that is willing to assist. There may be others here, but time will tell.

        I offered posts and geniune assistance in the past. There comes a time when in this hobby you have to take the good with thebad since there is a lot more worthless coins out there than varieties. Research is key in order to understand the hobby. You will probably be told that in any coin forum you visit.
