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

    1962 D DDO?

    I have a 1962 D penny which I think is DDO? The rim looks funny as well so I am not sure. Thoughts on the error and value? The doubling is strongest in GOD WE TRUST. Especially OD, W, and T,R

    The 1962-D Lincoln cent has only 2 known doubled dies.
    One is related to the "2" in the date.
    The other is related to a doubled eye.

    The letters that appear to be doubled look like the doubling is in random directions, it appears some of the lettering has step like or flattened letters.
    This can be quite challenging to distinguish between a doubled die and worthless doubling.

    So in other words, the areas on your coin are not a documented doubled die....
    NOW, if this was a 1962 Proof Lincoln cent, it might have been a different story.

    In my opinion, its important for learning, to try and research some things. I personally don't expect everyone to know everything and I personally am here to help. I am learning new things everyday and I surely do not know enough about this hobby - there is soooo much to know.

    I will add a few websites that can be checked if you want to.
    No pressure whatsoever. Its just a suggestion.

    The working dies that have the doubling on them (more than one impression on the working die) are made of steel. So, where the attributors document the doubling is where it should be located. The doubled die website above has an excellent educational area called "worthless doubling". John Wexler took the time to compare/show the differences between a DDO/DDR versus the worthless type doubling.

    Happy hunting
