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

    1964 Denver minted Washington quarter DDO FS 101?

    When you match an error to a picture on coin facts, does it have to be 100% spot on with the picture?

    This is my first attempt at finding an error, I hope this question doesn't come off to green horn, thanks guys.

    For the purists - a doubled die is a Variety.

    The doubled dies are working dies that had more than one impression of the working die in order for it to show all the details on the coins. If they were slightly offset and noticeable a doubled die was born. Since these dies are made of metal the area of doubling is not going to move. The amount of coins these working dies strike may affect the quality of the doubled die but again, it should match up with images on http://varietyvista.com

    On variety vista, any coin that shows a PR number is a proof. eg; PR-2-O-II-C

    FYI - collages don't allow me to zoom in and get a good look at the variety. They look cool, but in the long run, thwart most attribution efforts, in my opinion.
