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

    Need Help Identifying Silver Coin!

    I was going through a can of coins I haven't searched yet and found this. It is silver and weighs a full oz. It shows the capitol building on the one side and on the other it shows an entire battle field formation of colonial soldiers, everything from flags with what are supposed to be stars, 13 of them, calvary and regular ground soldiers all carrying time period black powder arms with the capitol building in the far back ground. If anyone has ever seen this coin and could help I would much appreciate it. It is also undated and seems to be carved but also shows signs of being minted as well. Who knows?

    Could you get some more pics that show the entire coin, and both sides of it? The color doesn't suggest silver, but perhaps the flash/lighting is adding that copper-looking color. Also as a note for others, this might not be the best forum for identifying unidentified coins.

      I dunno if this forum is good for identifying ANYTHING.

      One can do a tissue test. place a single Kleenex tissue over the coin. If it looks white thru the tissue, it is at least silver plated, if it looks gray, then it is another metal.
