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

    1941 D Mercury Dime DDR-002?

    I have an MS grade 1941D Mercury Dime that looks to have full bands. DDR-002 for this year guides me to look for a light spread on the ax blade, E Pluribus unum , and "DIME". Identifying a "light spread" is pushing my current skill level but I'm trying! Attached are photos of the key areas with red arrows where I think the abnormalities are. Please let me know if I'm on the right track.

    Can someone with experience with "light Spread" doubled dies comment on the areas of my coin compared to Variety Vistas 1941DDDR2? Thanks!

      Morning Ron,
      I can kind of see split letter's on E.Pluribus. But the photo's are in the small range, I would have picked large when you uploaded them. I would also like to see the mintmark placement on the OBV. Alot of times with a double die the mintmark placement will weed out many of the possible candidates. I see Dr. Wiles has a sideways photo of the mintmark. I would check that placement under the leafs to see if it's on target.

        Eric. Thank you for walking me through this educational diagnostic process. Thanks you also for the advice to select the large photo option when uploading photos. I'm posting my coins mint mark position and the Variety Vista example. To close the thread do you think it is a match?

          Evening Ron,
          I cannot quite see where the end of the leaf is in your photo. Can you move the lighting to pick up more of the left leaf - over the mintmark.
          Thank You
          Eric
