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

  • Possible New Discovery Off Metal Quarter

    I recently found a quarter that I believe is a off metal error and I'm looking to find out who the best person/place I can send it to for authentication/verification would be before sending it to PCGS/NGC/ANACS for grading? Because I've heard that an acknowledged coin expert has to attribute it before the grading companies will put the attribution on the label..

    what do the reverses look like on these coins?
    Do you know the weight of each coin, in grams?
    And finally - for now...Which one of these coins is the suspect?

      Color does not mean all that much. Weight matters.

        The coin on the bottom between the presidential dollars is the quarter in question. The top left is a regular quarter and the top right is a gold plated quarter for comparison. Here are a couple more pics until I get a scale to take a picture of the weight and post it.

          Jason, I had a slight, teenie glimmer of hope that when the owner showed the coin just above this post that the reverse had a Sacagawea Eagle on its back, but alas, it did not. THAT would have been something else.

          Roll hunting for some is like an almost free lottery ( minus time invested in the project). You never know what you could find in some of these rolls.

            That's what I was hoping for when I first found it out of my pocket change until I flipped it over to the reverse. Still pretty curious looking.

              There are so many reason a coin can be discolored. So many. That's the likely scenario here - not an off metal.

              Now a Sac reversed quarter(??!!) - that would be assume to find.
