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

  • Let’s see what I have

    I get a lot of my information about coins from watching TikTok, in general there are two people on their that are coin people, Eric Miller and Luna Lawns, the other day Eric Miller made a video of coins from 1956 to 1964 saying that if they have a space between the E and S in states an the leaf must be touching the A in dollar on the back of the coin they are worth more than face value, I have two, 1962 and 1964, Also my 1962 coin is off tilt when you flip it over it’s not lined up, It is off a little bit.

    So the two coins here are proof quarters... the valuable quarter is a circulation strike quarter with a proof style reverse or type B reverse... ...

      OK, thank you I am with you all the way up to the point of a proof style reverse, I’m assuming you’re talking about a business strike with a shiny Reverse?

        You might be talking about the "Type B" reverse.
        Its a business planchet... not shiny like a proof, though proof dies may have been used.
        Much like the Close and Wide on Lincoln cents....

          Yes the die design used on a proof is different in these years of the Washington Quarters. in 1956-1964 some non-polished proof dies were used to strike some circulation quarters.type a v b.jpg

                    I’m in the process of trying to find a 1971 Eisenhower dollar, is that the only year that error is valuable? Because I have a 1974 that has the same thing.

                      So Basically the peg leg is from a die polishing and therefore can be on any year. there is a known listing for 1974 D peg Leg.

                          Wish I had a nickel for every correction we make from folks watching TikTok, You Tube, Facebook videos etc.

                            Exactly what does that mean? If someone see something on TikTok, Facebook etc. In want to get clarification and they ask a question on this form where is the problem?

                              LOL James did not mean anything about it... it is not you. it is the Tik Tok people that give a bit of info and not the right info... Tik Tok, youtube, and facebook sometimes people impart wrong info, and that can hurt the collector community.... We have to fix it constantly and when we do, some people are not like you they don't take the info and try to understand... some just go off and tell us we don't know what we are talking about because "so and so" said on tik tok it was a $5,000 coin...

                              It is all good....LOL...
