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

    you can also use a mirror. if you hold a coin in front of it to show the rotation. the method you use is pretty neat tho.

    while people do buy coins like this as errors, the mint has a minimum rotation degree amount before they considered the coins to be in error but i can't remember what it is. i THINK it may be as high as 35-45 degrees. i remember it is fairly high because how shocked i was when i first read/heard it. so what that means is the tpgs will probably not or at least should not call a coin that is rotated less than the mint predetermined amount.

    happy hunting!

      The mint tolerance I've seen referenced is 15 degrees and NGC recognizes rotations greater than 15 degrees, which your coin seems to be. Value is greater for greater rotation, so it may not be worth the money to get it certified.

      I believe 35-45 degrees is where you would start to see a noticeable premium for the error.
