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

    1950D D/D/S new variety

    IMG_20250425_174005831_AE.jpg IMG_20250425_173520244_AE.jpg IMG_20250425_173629368_AE.jpg IMG_20250425_174211964_AE.jpg IMG_20250425_173306891_AE~2.jpg IMG_20250425_173854632_AE.jpg IMG_20250425_174057931_AE.jpg IMG_20250425_173823764_AE.jpg I believe this is a 1950D d/d/s. That there is a die crack on bust, and one going through E of America and eagles wing and one horizontally along eagles beak. 1950 is double and E- Pluribus unum look triple double dies. It's MS . I believe it's the first of this variety including all the varieties listed in variety vista. This is rare rare rare

    There are no photos.You do not mention the denomination, for some they have to assume. With an Eagle, I have to guess its a quarter......

    As a side note, working dies dont strike just one coin, they typically can strike up to 1 million Lincoln cents before being retired.Nickels might be in the 500,000 range, quarters are 325,000 and above. My point being...... wher are all the others ? It been over 70 years.

    Its good you looked on varietyvista and to see nothing like yours is concerning.

    You talk of an over mintmark. Then a triple or doubled die reverse. Its rather uncommon for this to happen. The working dies are made first, and later the mint mark is added. To see 2 or three of a potential doubled die, and then the same amount on the mintmark is a recipe for machine damage doubling (worthless doubling), which can be plentiful.

    For Nickles The only overdates documented are 1949, 1954 and 1955.
    There arent any 1950D or S doubled dies documented.

    For quarters:



    We need good clear photos of the coin to either confirm or debunk the possibility.

      This one was posted in the wrong place. Moving the post to the die variety forum.
      Pictures need to be added to all questions. Best bet post whole date and mintmark

        This coin pictures were not correctly posted as they are now and secondly Ive just realized this is a 1950S S/S and then it was punched south of MM with D/d, and bottom tail of S is going through D. There is now a clear obverse and reverse picture.

          It looks to me like there is a die chip inside bottom of the D mintmark, which would make sense with the die crack that has formed as well on the reverse die. It is an interesting die state and you have to wonder how much longer this die lasted.
