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

    New member from Canada

    I have been a CONECA member for about a year now, and just decided to join this forum. Although new to this forum, I am no stranger to coin forums. I am a collector of Canadian nickel dollars and small cents, all strikes, varieties and, of course, errors. I am also a part time coin dealer, and work a few shows in Montreal and Toronto.

    I am in a unique position as an error collector, because my day job has all kinds of wonderful toys which help me figure out various errors, especially those struck on foreign mystery planchets. I am a geologist, and work as a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada. My lab includes a powerful XRF, with the metal alloy software package and an SEM capable of quantitative analysis, including cathode luminescence. Perfect after-hour toys for an error collector...

    I like to bring science to numismatics, and have published several papers in the Canadian Numismatic Journal. I just submitted my first paper to Errorscope, and once it is accepted for publication, I'll post some pics here.

    Glad to be here... looking forward to sharing some neat errors and picking your brains as well...
