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

    Post it here and I can download it.
    I don't know if I can get to it this evening.
    If not, maybe tomorrow.
    This coming week (M-F) appears to pretty busy schedule wise.

    Ok there IS another way.
    Take a piece of paper about 1 inch squre, size for the paper doesnt matter
    on one side place a tic mark with a pencil or pen.

    Put a photo of the Jefferson reverse on your screen.
    take that paper and put the tick mark at the base of the monticello building above the "M" in MONTICELLO.
    Keeping the tic mark at the base of the Monticello building, have that paper split the left point of the M.
    Carefully put a tick mark at the peak of that M

    Take the paper off the screen. Take the top tick mark and place it on the "Line" just on the lower edge. make sure the paper edge can pass through the peak of one of the incused M's in Monticello. See if it matches.

    Do that same thing for the lower line and the lower incused Monticello as well. I will send a photo and then I have to get out of here.

    Four photos done in haste, but I think you will understand....

    Used this photo

    First measurement goes from base of building to PEAK of the M in this case.

    Move that paper over to the first highest line, and place the tick mark at the bottom of the line. The bottom Tick mark should hit the top of the incused M

    and then move the paper and measure from the bottom line to the lower incused M.

    The sticky didn't want to stick very well to the screen, but the spacing looks promising. I do this for my varieties more than I want to admit. It is quicker and a lot easier.
