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

    2.should i try and buy anything specific?
    3.should i try and stay away from anything? what should i look out for?

    There are hundreds of basic error types, numerous subtypes, and assorted effects associated with each. Check the "archived articles" section of this website for a list.

    It's not for me to tell you what to collect. You might start with some basic reference books like The Error Coin Encyclopedia and the Official Price Guide to Mint Errors.
