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

  • 1972D Kennedy

    Hello all, got this Kennedy Half in change and it looks like a Doubled profile. I looked a the master listing and found nothing similar. The neck and lips are the area I'm inquiring about. I do not see any other areas that look doubled. Thank you for the help.

    This looks like it may be one of the many forms of mechanical doubling .

      It looks like mechanical doubling on the neck, possibly on the lips too, but if you look at a few rolls of halves you'll see quite a few like this. I seem to recall that a part of this, or a similar thing, is due to strengthening of the design? Don't know if anyone could correct or inform me on the strengthening theory further.

        Lips definitely show MDD.
