How many of you belong to CONECA? I've been kicking it around for years on joining or not? Is it worth the $25?
I joined this year. James Wiles is quite busy and I haven't followed through to have a couple "new" Jefferson RPM's documented. The site is a great resource and I hope it continues to stay updated.
Thanks for the reply. I myself have several Jefferson RPMs and OMM that I was thinking of sending in. Every time I thought about joining I've decided to use the money for coins instead!
James Wiles is no longer doing attributions. Mike Ellis has taken over attributing known die varieties. I am a board member of CONECA, so obviously I have some bias in favor of the organization. But honestly, if you collect errors and varieties, you can learn a lot and save a lot of money by joining. I would also recommend getting back issues of Errorscope to at least the beginning of 1999. There's a lot that's been published in Errorscope that you won't find in any standard reference.
I believe I will be getting a membership as a gift this year. How would I go about getting back issues of errorscope? I am only interested in Jeffersons do I need to seperatly join the Full Step Jefferson Nickel Club or is this part of CONECA membership? Thanks
Ths will bring you to the back issue page on the CONECA site. http://conecaonline.org/errorscope.html Coneca - Errorscope The Full Step Club is a separate organization. Bob
I've been thinking about sending in for this club so I could learn alittle bit more about errors....I'm sure the Mag is a good one.... Speedy
Mike, in this post you said James Wiles is not longer doing attributions, and Mike Ellis is taking over. I was under the impression that James was just taking some time off to write some new books and move into a new house. I have a couple of Kennedy varieties that I think would be new listings, who would I send them to...the web site says James Wiles at his old address and e-mail? Thanks Larry Nienaber
You are correct. James is on a long and open-ended hiatus as he concentrates on writing his books. You could e-mail Mike Ellis and see if there is any place to send potentially new die varieties. gmmmike@arkansas.net
Hi, I think that John Wexler is doing attributions on coins from cents to quarters and John Bordner is doing halves. Don't quote me 100% but I think these folks are still doing it. I'm not sure if the attributions are for CONECA, but they have excellent files of varieties. Bill
CONECA is a wonderful group of error collectors and while I have let my membership lapse, I recommend it to any serious error collector.
