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

    1929-S DDO Dime

    I found this one at the Milwaukee coin show today. I must have looked at over 500 dimes, and this would be the best one. What I like about the 1929-S is the die clash. Not all die clashed 1929-S dime are double dies, and not all 1929-S double dies are clashed, but I really like this version. I focused so the clash would be seen.

    The date appears to show machine doubling.

      Mike, yes I know. This is one that everything is shifted strait to the left (east). Here is an image of part of IN.GOD WE.TRUST Note how the dot between WE and TRUST is doubled along with the tips of the W (of we) which is probably the easiest to see. You can see the left side and top of the E in the image shows the doubling. I have also included an image of the first one I found which now resides in my PCGS set of Variety Dimes. Other than grade, I have now triplets of these and they all match.


      Here is a link to my set.

        The "doubling" (as you choose to call it) seems to be nothing more than microscopic, blobby extensions from random parts of letters. I would have to conclude it's nothing more than die deterioration. But I'll let our more experienced variety hounds have the final say.

          There is no question this is a doubled die. I reviewed my files and agree that it is a class IV+VIII shifted and tilted. I would love to get some new color digital photos.

              Not at all. I'm always glad to be proven wrong.

                Wow. I really wasn't trying to start any trouble. The fact that it is a LDS makes it harder to tell.

                Dr. Wiles, I would be happy to send the coin. I will send you an email.

                Thanks,
