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

    New introduction

    Hello, I am a new member as of today. I just wanted to introduce myself. I’ve been collecting coins since 2014, however, became interested in error coins about a year ago. I do have one I will be posting for opinions in a bit. I hope my lack of technology skills will allow me to navigate posting.

    I’m headed to visit a buddy, who inherited 4 large boxes of coins from his father. It looks like there’s an extensive variety, from proof sets, U.S. coins, foreign coins and a large amount of probable error coins. Any advice would be appreciated as to what errors are best to focus on, because we will not have time for all of them right now.

    Regards,
    Rob

    Welcome to the forum!

    Sounds like a dream scenario. 4 large boxes of assorted coins to search through!

    I would separate the coins by country, and denomination and concentrate on one series at a time. That way there, you can research a specific set of coins without trying to remember too much. Once you get through, put those coins you want to ask about off to the side and start another series. Sometimes, it is best to go back to the coins you set aside some time later to see if what you saw still needs some clarification. We will be happy to assist when we can.
