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

    2009D DC Duke Ellingtong Commemorative Quarters Mint Processing

    Hello ALL again,

    I have this colored commemorative qtr and want to get your confirmation...

    The painting process aside, I assume this coin went thru the normal mint production materials and processess. And if the paint is stripped off,
    it will look just the same as the rest of the business strike coins. And
    further, may/may not find the same errors that the rest of production coins may have/have not.



    Thanks,
    NVTE

    Your assumption is correct . I am not at all fond of "painting" the U. S. coinage; to me it is a ploy for extra money. However, some people do appreciate the "artistic" nature of these coins and hopefully realize that it does not increase the value of such. One must realize that the true coin collector does not trifle in such diversions that are accomplished outside the U. S. Mint.

        I must concur with Wavysteps, it's the same as the gold plated quarters that sell for a premium howbeit the gold plating does little if at all to increase the value.
