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

    Hello, my name is Kenneth and I am by no means new. I first joined CONECA in 1994 as Y-2381 Recommended by mentor G. Wilkinson N-2267.
    I started collecting coins in the mid 80's. It was always fascinating to me each piece of history I was holding in my hands. What story did each coin have to tell? I moved to California in 1988 and joined a local coin club. This is where I discovered my first error. A 1909 VDB 1-O-V in XF+ and thus started collecting errors. In 1995 I won one of the CONECA error groups from Erroramma event in the 95' ANA convention in Anaheim.
    In 2000 I joined the USAF. Although most of my time was devoted to duty, I still pursued my numismatic hobby in the back ground. I got out in 2007 after suffering an injury and focused on university studies, Later getting married and starting my own family.
    I have been heavily involved in numismatics recently and felt in was time to get back full-swing as my life has finally settled.
    I collect both US & Canadian coinage and currency in general. I collect mostly RPM's, RPD's, doubled dies, and various striking errors, with a specialization in half dollars and Ike's.
    Well it's nice to meet you all. Happy hunting.
