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

      Diamond. Thank you for your quick reply. Is it consider a rare or just a common variety?

        I started collecting foreign doubled dies and error coins a few years ago -- mainly because they so affordable - even for significant varieties. I'm no expert -- but what I've experienced is that you can often pick up decent foreign doubled die coins with little or no premium over the market value of the regular coin. Spectacular varieties can command a modest premium (i.e. $20 to $100). I spent $70 for a nice Euro doubled die - but that was more the exception. Similarly bold varieties in U.S. coins would be significantly more valuable.

        Your coin is a nice high grade and I'd say that is a pretty decent doubled die. I'd hang on to it. Who knows what the future holds. Perhaps someday, collecting foreign doubled dies will become more popular world-wide and the values could appreciate sharply. At one time, U.S. error coins and die varieties were not especially valuable over the market value of the regular coin. I just find them interesting -- and if they increase in value in the future, that's just a bonus.

          Russellhome. Thank you for your input. I am 100% agree with your opinion about the value of the varieties. I will keep this coin for sure and look for more interesting one.
          Thanks.

            pennycat,
            I found the same doubled die when I was a teenager. I found it to be a nice doubled die. Your example appears to be an earlier die state then the one I own.
            Nice Find
