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

      Copper is the perfect base metal for plating. I have found over a hundred 'silver' cents in my searches over the years. Some of them were plated with mercury, so they may be pretty, but could also be very dangerous.

        mustbebob good, but i have question for you. have you ever looked at the coin under white light. you need to so you can see what the mint is hiding. later i will show you. if you have not. then i will show you some thing you will be amazed to see. let me know if you have not you need to see this.

          Go ahead and amaze me Rocky. I have been in this business for over 50 years and have a couple of mint tours under my belt. I am not aware of the mint hiding anything from me, but I am always willing to have a look and make up my own mind.
