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

    What you have is machine/mechanical doubling. It is not a doubled die. Very common amongst Lincoln Cents.

      What I see

      Since I am a novice, I will not classify this as a “Doubled Die” or a “machine doubled” coin. I will just discuss what I see.

      What I see on this Lincoln Penny is that it appears to have shifted (looking down the axis) on the vertical axis of the die from the 12 o’clock position towards the 11 o’clock position, hence the doubling on the right side of the letters (in all photos). Curiously the two “T”s of States do not show doubling, as well as the first “A” of America and the “N” of One. There is NO detectable evidence of doubling on the E Pluribus Unum at all (in photo 2). Curiously, the “T” and “N” of United shows doubling in two directions (in photo 1), both rotationally on the vertical axis of the die and also a shift horizontally from the bottom of the letter toward the top of the letter, leaving a shelf at the bottom of the “T” and “N.”

      Note that the “C” and second “A” in America are NOT consistent with the rotational shift of the vertical axis from 12 o’clock towards 11 o’clock. The “C” and “A” have a shelf located on the left side of the “C” and “A” rather than the right side as in the other letters.

      The Memorial shows doubling at the outer corner of the top of the building under the roof on both sides. This would indicate to me a shift from the top of the coin towards the bottom of the coin. Also the bottom left of the Memorial shows the same shift downward. BUT, what is curious is that there is something (doubling?) on the inner rim edge between the “U” in United and the “O” in One, directly down from the bottom edge of the Memorial (in photo 5) indicating a shift in the opposite direction.

      As I stated in my post of “1964 dime DDR” by Willymac in the Mint Error Forum it is my (novice) opinion that “Doubled Die” (shifted and double struck Die during Die making) errors and “Machine Doubled” (shifted die during the strike of the coin) errors are both caused by a shift of a Die, just at different times in the coining process.

        Also looks like machine doubling, hope I am wrong.
