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

    Reference Book Question

    Anyone know where I can find a cheap, used copy of The Best of the Jefferson Nickel Doubled Die Varieties by John A. Wexler and Brian A. Ribar? I love Jeffs and would really love to have this book. I can't find it anywhere for under around $40. Thanks to all.

    Or...Does anyone have a copy they would trust sending me and let me borrow and scan it into my computer. I would take care of it and pay shipping both ways. If not I understand. I would have to think twice about what I am asking of you guys. Thanks in advance.

        Copy

        Hello Jay;

        I think biting the bullet and purchasing the book is your best bet. I understand what you are saying about scanning revelevant pages (I've done that to books I purchased and still probably be a copy infringment)....but technically that is a copywrite infringment.

        Books can be expensive I know. There might be a better solution to your issue. The Kindle, E-Book and other tablet type devices MAY allow you to purchase the book electronically solving both issues simultaniously. I have checked with Books-A-Million to see if there are coin books available for e-readers and they assured me there are some out there. Whitman has a new area on their web site that allow a monthly fee electronic "Red Book Guide to US coins" access. It has nothing more than the actual red book info, but with the convience of accessing the guide on one's smart phone anywhere, anytime.

        I am sure as time goes by, we will all be able to access these books more conviently. I have many of the guide books (24 in total) in hard copy, but it would be extrememly convient to access them electronically.

        I hope my perspective (two cents worth) helps you in your search.

          Thanks Merlin

          Thanks Merlin. Stupid me, I didn't think about the copywrite laws. I tried to win this book on ebay for $20 but someone outbid me right at the last second. I guess I need to quit spending money on coins and buy the book. Thanks again!
