Hi Everyone,
Just joined CONECA and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Matt, based in northern New Jersey. I've been coin roll hunting for a few months now across halves down to pennies and I'm working on building my attribution skills for doubled dies, RPMs, die cracks, chips, and cuds.
My current setup is a Nikon SMZ660 stereo microscope, a Tomlov DM9 Max digital scope for documentation, and a Carson Pro Head Visor LED magnifier for quick looks. I've been leaning heavily on Wexler, Variety Vista, and the CONECA Master List for reference while I learn.
I've accumulated a decent stash of candidate error coins but I'm still working on the fundamentals — particularly telling subtle hub doubling apart from machine doubling and die deterioration. I'd rather be slow and conservative than call something a DDR that isn't one.
Looking forward to learning from everyone here. I'll probably have a 2015-P Blue Ridge Parkway quarter up in the attributions forum before long for a pre-screen.
