PERIODICAL: ERRORSCOPE JULY-AUGUST 2026

CONECA (Combined Organization Of Numismatic Error Collectors Of America) has been putting out its excellent official club magazine ErrorScope for decades. The magazine comes out every two months for club members who receive six issues over the course of the year. The magazine includes outstanding articles on error and variety coins, along with photos and advertisements for current error dealers.

In the current issue of the magazine, writers explore articles on topics such as a 1921 Morgan Dollar with a raised lamination flaw across the reverse, a review of the CONECA table at the spring PAN (Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists) convention, and an in-depth description of the incredible nickel errors of numismatist Ken Hill. The Ken Hill article is the first of three or more installments of the subject, exploring what is a magnificent and otherwise unpublished collection.

A short article notes that major error dealer Mike is offering free digital copies of his award- winning book World's Greatest Mint Errors online. The book can be downloaded for everyone, including readers of the E-Sylum at https://tinyurl.com/byersbook

As a bonus for readers of The E-Sylum, I am including a classic article from the magazine along with this review. The late Del Romines wrote the article. It was published originally in the April 1988 issue of the magazine and explores the 1936 double die cent. Modern articles have better photos of course, but this article shows how the magazine has been producing numismatic content for many years.
