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

  • Worldcoin, company. Fraud?

    Respeto este foro, mi comienzo fue como novato y sigo siendo un novato, pero gracias a ti he superado un poco ya que he leído algunos artículos y estoy suscrito a worldcoin, pcgs, numismatic......., hay cosas que no entiendo y me gustaría que me explicaras. Por ejemplo, has publicado en Worldcoin una moneda sin la marca del grabador como error y en los diferentes foros a los que estoy suscrito (en unos pocos del mundo), que no es solo tuya, no lo es (pongo esto como ejemplo porque para mí es lo menos que he visto). Para concluir me gustaría saber qué llaman las empresas error, ya que observo que no se basan en estudios y liberan monedas que no salen al mercado (que deben ser destruidas por la casa de la moneda) como acaban de publicar en worldcoin.
    Las empresas deciden según su interés ¿qué es error y qué no?

    I respect this forum, my start was as a newbie and I'm still a newbie, but thanks to you I have overcome a bit since I have read some articles and I am subscribed to worldcoin, pcgs, numismatic......., there are things that I don't I understand and I would like you to explain it to me. For example, you have published in Worldcoin a coin without the engraver's mark as an error and in the different forums to which I am subscribed (in a few of the world), that it is not only yours, it is not (I use this as an example because for me is the least I've seen). To conclude, I would like to know what the companies call an error, since I observe that they are not based on studies and they release coins that do not go to the market (which must be destroyed by the mint) as they have just published in worldcoin.
    Companies decide according to their interest what is error and what is not?

    I will not get into the politics of this. It is not healthy.

    Different companies will accept some errors coins, and some will not. The no designers initials are simply an area where it is filled with debris or has struck through grease. It may have happened to one or more dies. Believe me, it happens a lot. Also the designers initials are part of the design on every US minted coin. It's on the master hub and is on all working dies as well.

    As for wanting to know what a company calls an error, it is best to ask them as I personally do not work for them nor are we examiners for them.

    Im my opinion, the third party grading services seem to have a list of varieties they will attribute and encase in a slab. Error coins that are not major errors, it might be best to forward them very good photo of the obverse and reverse to see if it is something they will examine and encase the coin as you have it in the description. Your examination description is what they use, if it is wrong, then they may just say it is not an error that you described, and leave it that way.

    Most third party grading services do use outside examiners to look over the coins and give their professional opinion. I am neutral to this, I don't know what to say, other than we all can have bad and good days.

    I personally only send in coins that are major errors or well known varieties, like ones which have FS numbers. Those type errors and varieties are popular, and can sell quickly. They are also worth a lot more than the grading fees.
