Here is a CONECA Membership Application Form that you can print out, fill out, and mail out to join a fantastically educational organization.
ONECA 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. It publishes an award winning educational magazine, 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, and offers auction services to its members.

CONE, Collectors of Numismatic Errors, was founded in 1963, with Al Maynard, Harry Parshall, and Jack Sams as prime movers. The club’s motto, “Sharing Knowledge,” caused the club to emerge as a leader of establishing methods of collecting mint errors, establishing definitions, doing research on the way coins were normally minted to find how the error occurred, etc. The club publication, the Errorgram, originally was a column appearing in a Dresden, Ohio newspaper, the Post Transcript.
NECA, Numismatic Error Collectors of America, was also started around 1963 by Mort Goodman, Arnold Margolis, Emil Di Bella, Joe Bush, Estelle Stewart, Jim Johnson, Syd Kass, to name a few. Generally the purpose of this club was the same, although the interest seemed to be more into major striking errors rather than the die varieties/errors. The monthly publication, the Errorscope, was mimeographed and issued in 8 ½ x 11” format. This publication later evolved into a high quality 5 ½ x 8 ½” format, similar to CONE’s, and was printed by “Lonesome John” Devine.
Early in 1983 CONE and NECA merged to become CONECA, a name picked by the Intern Board combining the two clubs names. Many collectors had joined both clubs, and it seemed only natural to join together. The other primary reason was that of saving money by publishing one monthly bulletin – Errorscope.
oday, Errorscope is the award-winning bimonthly journal of CONECA. The club encourages all members to participate with their own writing, and photography is available at no charge to members. Issued every two months, the Errorscope is packed with the latest news on errors and varieties.
