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 everyone!
    I am new to CONECO and coin collecting in general. I haven't decided exactly where my main interest lies, but I am partial to pennies. I just love the patina of an old penny. I also love the error coins. To me they're like people, some look all shiny and new, untouched even, and then there are the ones with all the flaws. Im a big fan of flaws, having many myself. So error coins to me, are like people with flaws. It's the errors and mistakes that make them so unique and interesting. I look forward to talking to and learning from you guys/gals. Plenty of pictures and questions to come

    Welcome aboard.

    One of the most important learning tools is how the minting process is/was done. There were two eras.prior to 1996 and then, after 1996 to present, for errors and varieties. As of 2002, the US mint made great strides in reducing the amount of error coins leaving the Mint.

    There are handfuls of minor errors out there, but the major errors are slim to none. Just putting it all in perspective.

    Get to know which coins are errors and which are varieties will help you post them in the correct forum.

    Happy hunting.
