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

    grading services

    Looking for a bit of advice concerning three 1960 DDO proof dimes. From what I've learned, these are probably going to fall into the MDS range. Since these came out of a roll purchased through the bay, I'm not into them for anywhere what they should be worth, and I'm assuming that getting them graded would be well worth the investment.

    Is there a consensus on which grading service carries the most influence regarding this DDO variety?

    And for the record, my heart did almost stop when I found the first one, and fortunately my wife is an RN with extensive Cardiac Care experience. Due to the abnormal rhythm I went into over the 2nd and 3rd ones, self almost to the long sleep in a dirt bed.

    Been collecting for years and after thousands of coins only had a couple "extra berry" dollars and a EF1964 DDO Kennedy to show for the effort. Ain't sure what changed my luck, but it didn't last. The lottery tickets purchased that night, didn't come close to paying.

    Thanx in advance Craig

    Craig....
    Do you know which Proof DDO it is?
    Anyway, as a personal preference, if I were to send coins to any grading service, it would be PCGS or ANACS. They seem to have the better track record and are well known. I would tend to want to stay away from any of the others. Once again, that is only a personal preference.
    BTW..Take care of the old ticker Ain't no use being dead and not being able to enjoy your new finds. Congrats on those!
