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

    1 Dollar Morgan 1886

    Good evening I would like to thank you for admitting me to the Group. A few days ago I bought a strange 186 Morgan coin with 8 feathers. I looked a little on the internet and searched for that coin. I found only 1878 with 8 I was at erspart to ask if the coin was original and made of silver. The answer was positive. I need your help with this coin. Thank you in advance, Nikolai

    What does the coin weigh? It should be close to 26.73 grams.

      Also, grab a picture of the rim.

                My opinion is that it is a fake of some sort, as the reverse is wrong style. It would need to be examined by a specialist to determine otherwise I should think. I just don't see a way that you have a new variation of reverse die on a series that is this well examined by enthusiasts to the point where they list the exact amount of dies used (63 obverses and 60 reverses: source) .
