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

    1973 S Ike Proof

    Hello all, wondering if this could be a DD. The 7 shows some, as well as, some of the stars and the E and R of america. Thank you for the help.

    Im having mixed thoughts on this one but from the first pic the 7 looks like a doubled die and in other pics Im lost.Thats just my view but Im no pro.

      I can't tell, especially after the recent posts on machine doubling and proof coins. The look of the 7 seems like a separation line and maybe slight notching, but it appears inconsistent with class II doubling - it looks more like a rotated or off-set - which would make it rather unusual to be isolated like this. So it could be hub doubling, just minor and in need of an in hand examination...

        Jason, if a in-hand exam is necessary who should I contact. Thank you for the help.

          Both Obverse and Reverse of the 1973-S Silver Proof coin have Master Die Doubling in the locations you've pictured.

          Check out the CONECA Master Variety Listings and photograph the areas outlined in that last.

          Most 1973-S Silver Proofs are DDO's/DDR's to some extent.

            I thought about it being master die doubling (and it could be) but Wiles notes class II and VI whereas this looks like I or V - though very minor. I believe 19Lyds is correct that most large dies (especially dollars) show some mild hub doubling from being hubbed so many times.

            Whatever it is, to me, it seems rather minor (and may not be listable). I would contact Mike Ellis and get his opinion from the photos and then take it from there.

              I wouldn't advise the OP to do anything other than post a photo of the motto and LIBERTY
