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

    Free & easy to make money everywhere!

    I never thought I'd have any interest in coin collecting and especially to this amount where I regularly watch YouTube videos just for more knowledge. The best part of this manageable addiction isn't possible with any other hobby is the fact that I can and have made money buy spending money and nothing cooler than a gas station Attendant giving back $200 in change for buying a $3 soda.

    While I just found this organization a couple days ago, I'm not yet a member but excited as hell to pay the dues & send the application to become an associate of yours, officially! I'm not even gonna question it and just automatically predict there are far more knowledgeable contributers to posts with questions here than the people that constantly reply with guesses rather than fact or hypothesis like groups on Facebook.

    My thirst for knowledge everything abour coin collecting is 2yrs old & doesn't extend past the U.S. currency type that's been used in everyday transitions for past 120 years, which is suspect to be similar for most individuals. While having only been 2yrs, I'm confident in stating i know quite a bit m9re than some having done this for 20yrs as I've regularly spent more than 60 hrs a week at times reading books, watching tutorials and actually engaging in visual inspections of coins.

    My mom is the one who changed me into and got me hooked to this damn awareness and compulsive nature to check the details of any change I'm given from a store as soon as possible. My dad wasn't a coin collector but throughout his years, did acquire small lots of coins if encountered through travels and just stored them with others and never thought of again. After he passed away, my mom entrusted me to sort through it all and determine it's value for possible disbursement if needed financially. However, i do take full responsibility for my actions and the continuation on my own of items that I find intriguing.

    Obviously anyone in this sport has heard the name Coneca and I'm sure I've visited the site before, never really engaged the resources. Honestly, I never really knew until last week it's members did literal attributing. I began the fruitless task of attempting to locate a reference guide on the Coneca site listing all the years of coins varieties but certain there actually isn't one. Then a few days ago found myself back to Coneca for their instructions for submitting a ☆NEW DISCOVERY ☆ & getting then getting steered to this associated forum was by necessity cuz Wexlers has posted they'recurrently not accepting copper cents for assessment. I believe this is the way to do it and forcing a requirement to provide photo evidence of a supposedly rare find first, saves tons of time for the professionals whom give it an initial consideration. Also, as luck would have it, I stumbled on a wheat set with very wide DDO in IGWT and medium on every other characters and had it not been done this way I'd never have know about the membership or especially this forum.

    I'll shut up now and let you talk about what you want.

    Hey Brad....welcome to the forum and hope you can join as a member of CONECA. Errors and Varieties are fun to collect. Please post some pics of what you have or maybe you have a question about one of your coins.
