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

    Hello, My name is Jeremy and I am a new member. I am 53 live in Hawaii and am a woodworker and sawyer who also likes to collect coins. I took a special interest in errors and die varieties after finding a few in a collection passed down from my fathers estate. I hope to learn a lot from these forums.

      Hi James,
      I mostly collect Morgan and peace vams and I also like to search thru random mint bags and rolls looking for errors. I have one Morgan discovery vam under my belt that I had John at vamslab help me to attribute. I also was urged to join Coneca by James Wiles over at Variety vista, after reaching out to him about a possible new variety of Wyoming state quarter I found. I will post some pictures once I dig them out. Should I do that here or start a new topic? Thank you.

        It is best to start a new post, one for each coin. That way people and search engines become less confused. You can add Vams posts and photos in die varieties forum.

        In my opinion, Vamworld.com is a good place to self attribute Morgan's. I go there some times. In my opinion, the problem with VAMs is there are boatloads of them. I went through the VAM Encyclopedia and highlighted anything over rarity 5. Less fish to look at for me.

        Welcome aboard.
        Happy hunting.

          Thank you, Yes I know there are so many vams, And vamworld is good at narrowing them down if I cant quite figure it out, especially on the more circulated coins. For me its just fun finding them. Thanks again
