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

    Hi all. My name is Evanz and I am new to this Forum. I have not filled out my membership yet and pay my fees because I just joined today. I am hoping to get it done after our vacation. My kids and I just started this coin collection hobby. My initial goal was for them check out new things besides being on their tablet. We got hooked in this coin collection. We just started just last month and went to our jar of coins for them to fill their coin albums and look for error coins. We have found some but of course we are new to this so I will need your help. Any recommended resource for us to study and read?

    Thank you for welcoming us.

    Thank you for welcoming us.
    In my opinion, THE #1 book is "The error coin encyclopedia" by Arnold Margolis. The book describes the minting process, and one can learn to debunk what are errors and what is PMD or post mint damage - a coin which has damage to it after it left the mint.
    That book is getting scarce. If you are able to find one that can fit in your budget range, you may want to grab it.

    Here is a link. You might be able to find one cheaper....

    At the main page of this forum, at the bottom is a forum loaded with websites that are coin related.
    You may want to book mark a few that you may be able to use.

    I recommend the following
