CONECA Examination Process

  1. Identify the appropriate examiner. Click here for a list of CONECA examiners.

  2. Email or write to the examiner requesting approval to send your coins. By doing this, you can ensure that your coins will arrive at a time when the examiner is really available (i.e., not on vacation or away cherrypicking at a show).

  3. For every coin you're sending, tell the examiner the denomination, date, quantity, and any specific questions you'd like to have answered

  4. When the examiner gives you the okay to send your coins, then package and ship your coins by U.S. Postal Service. You should ship the coins by insured or registered mail with the proper amount of insurance. Do not ship by certified mail as it provides no insurance.

  5. When shipping your coins, be sure to include the appropriate check or money order (payable to the attributer) to cover attribution fees. The fee is $4.00 per coin for CONECA members and $5.00 per coin for non-members. You must also include return postage and insurance, which is usually $5.00 per package for items totaling under $200.00.  Check at www.usps.com when in doubt.

Note: The reduced fee quickly pays for a CONECA membership; sign up with your first examination package and save money.
