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

    1987 Proof quarter

    Hello my my name is Wade I think I posted the pictures but I'm about to post in my introduction for new members like I should have done it here anyways I have a question about a 1987 proof quarter with a die crack and die chips down the face of Washington does this hurt the value of a proof coin or add value to it

    Die cracks and chips are an ultimate part of the striking process, but proof coinage should be better controlled against these errors. Either way, cracks and chips should not detract from the value unless it affects the eye appeal of the coin. Only those who grade coins at the third party grading services can tell you whether or not these anomalies will affect their grade. As far as adding value, the short answer is no on a 1987 proof quarter. Some die cracks and chips on older coins such as Morgan dollars were assigned VAM numbers and some of those had an increase in value.
