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 MD 1-O-II Proof Lincoln cent DDO question

    Hey everyone, I bought the above coin from JT Stanton years ago, but cannot find any info on it. Can anyone let me know, with the less the perfect pictures, if this is a correct designation? Thanks for any help! Andy

    It looks like a CONECA number, however, we do not have any master die doublings on proof coins. Nor do I see any listings in the CPG for this die. Sorry that I could not help you more. Your best bet is to contact J. T., maybe he can help.

      Like BJ suggested contacting JT by email is the best bet.

      I did find this master die doubling in Wexler's old Lincoln Cent Doubled Die book as Pr MD-4-O-II

        At one time the doubling on the date of the 1962 cents, especially the proofs, was thought to be from a doubled master die. Since then a lot more research as been done. There may still be a working hub involved, but each one appears to be different. I have over 30 DDOs listed, most involve some type of doubling on the date. Many of these are fairly minor and will only common small premiums. Some are rather nice.

          I found one of the many 1962 Proof DDOs -- not one of the more impressive ones, but a keeper none-the-less.
