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

    Hi everyone!

    I'm new to the CONECA forums but not new to errors or varieties. I'm not yet a member but can see myself quickly becoming one after learning how attribution is done.

    I collect a wide variety of items including coins, tokens and medals, and errors of all types. For example, in addition to error coins, I collect error So-Called Dollars.

    I post articles on Mint Error News, Collectors Universe / PCGS Forums and Instagram, with the hope of augmenting that discussion with detailed errors and varieties discussions here. Here are a few of my articles on Mint Error News. I'm open to feedback so please take a look and let me know your thoughts!
    1. Prototype Eisenhower Dollars: Considering the Chatham Specimen as the First Prototype Variety (link)
    2. Unique Proof Ike Dollar Struck on Silver Clad Layer (link)
    3. Lincoln Dime Mule Census (link)
    My immediate desire is to understand attributions, including definitions, lookups and photo references.

    I'm looking in Kennedy Proof Half cud varieties and will create a thread on this. For some background, I've found some information on Ken Glickman's site here: Kennedy Half Dollar Cuds (link). Ken's site references CONECA and I've found information on business strikes, but not proofs yet. I'm super interested in now CONECA attributions can be determined and verified.

    I also have other errors like this obverse clad layer missing, which I'm also interested in learning how to attribute.

    Looking forward to joining the discussion!

    Thanks!

    John

      Thanks for the welcome Zimmy!

      Here's a die break variety of mine that I'm researching and trying to find a cud designation for. Looking forward to getting up to speed on designating these and others.
