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

    Generic search strategies?

    I have a generic search strategy question. I'm about to start a major error search and its a buffalo nickel collection. There is a primary collection book, a secondary collection book, a few uncirculated rolls and 10 circulated rolls. From the die variety book I see there are DDO/DDR/RPM/OMM listings. Is the best strategy to use the die variety book and search the coins for the known errors by date and mint mark? Or should I be putting every coin under the microscope? While my knowledge is increasing most of what I have found on my own has been machine doubling but that has been with current coins... Thanks for the advice!

    I personally look through EVERYTHING! You never know when you might discover a new variety while searching for the known ones. The more you search, the more you learn.

      Use all the resources you can find, books and on-line. Put every coin under the microscope.
