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

    1963 Washington quarter prooflike

    I am not having much luck finding a good explanation or pictures of a "prooflike" coin. PCGS has 3 listed for the 1963 quarter but no pictures. I also read that the type B only had PL.
    I know we don't do grades here but I have never had a business strike this good. I put it up to a PF and it almost has the same reflectiveness just with a matte finish.

    This is what a PL is judged against. PCGS has listed at MS65, 900,000.

      For informational purposes, the Type B quarters were actually struck with proof dies. They were not 'proof like' which is the term for business strike coins with the appearance and luster of a Proof coin. On proof coins, the dies are prepared differently and what you are referring to as a matt type finish is called Cameo.
