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

    1988-P Cent D.D.R ???

    This coin just looks like it could be doubled? Thanks for your comments!

    Yes, that center bar on the E looks doubled but since the doubling appears to be limited to "only" that bar, I expect some type of machine doubling or die erosion or possibly somethig as simple as a well placed collision with another coin.

    Doubling on a die occurs when the die gets misaligned (for whatever reason) during the second and subsequent hubbings. As such, more of the doubling would occur elsewhere on the coins produced from that die. With doubling such as is displayed on your coin, I would expect the upper and lower bars of that E to exhibit at least something. Then of course, there's the other E in CENT which shows nothing.

    When the doubling is limited to one small portion or the coin, its usually caused from some situation which occured during the minting of the coin and not the creation of the die.
