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

    1962d Franklin Half possible DDO

    This has a spread on the ST of Trust to the south and a spread on the 2 in the date to the east. Any thoughts?

    It appears to be machine doubling.

      I guess I don't understand all the aspects of MD yet. So the doubling, the shearing can actually occur higher up in the relief area? This example does have the shelf-like appearance, but the doubling is further away from the coin surface. The limited examples I've seen the doubling was at the coin surface. That's why I didn't automatically think MD.

        MDD is caused when the dies shift or chatter after striking. The location, direction, and magnitude of the chatter all depend on when and how much the dies move. If this occurs immediately after striking, it will be at the surface as you describe. If it happens a split second later, after the dies have begun to pull apart, the MDD will be in a different place and appear differently. It's still caused by the same thing, and will have the same general appearance - a flat, shelf-like look. The S on your coin has the classic look, although I'll give you that the T is far more deceiving.

          Very good to know, thanks for explaining.

            This appears to be a legitimate doubled die. The tripling on the T is due to it being a master die/master die. I would need to see the coin to tell you if it matches one of the 2 already listed or is possibly a new listing.

              James,
              I will be happy to send you the coin. I assume I should follow the standard CONECA attribution process? Kevin
