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

    2005 P Oregon 25c DDO and Clash?

    I found this odd 2005 P Oregon quarter. This one has me stumped...



    One thing I am certain of is that one mark is from a clashed die. I have another Oregon that has been confirmed to be a die clash -- so the flat mark under the ear (#3) is a clash of the outline of the island on the reverse. The apparent earlobe doubling (#2) could be a DDO, a clever hit, or MD. The mark at the back of the ear (#1) could also be a contact mark, die gouge, or possibly doubling similar to the PA coin I showed in another thread.



    I might have to set this one aside and see if another one turns up. Any ideas?

    I can agree with your analysis of the 3rd mark being a clash. As to marks 1 and 2, they could both be doubled dies. We have seen this on the reverse dies of the Lincoln cents, where it has been apparent that more than two initial hubbings have taken place.
