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

    1970 DDR Dime

    I think this dime could be a rare ddr,note the doubling on OF and the flame.

    It appears to be machine doubling.

      Are you 100% sure based on the photo or is this one to hard to tell without the coin to examine in hand.I've only seen one poor specimen photo of this ddr so i used the 1970 D ddr to compare doubling,looking at the O in OF on that coin the doubling is the same.

        After a second look ( I magnified your photos), I can see notching on some of the letters. So, it is a DDR. I also compared it to the CPG pictures and it does seem to be the same. Nice find.

          I agree with BJ. When I first looked at your dime on another forum I thought MDD...but after I also enlarged the photos I could see the notching and thought it to be from a doubled die. The CW doubling on the M of AMERICA sure does look like MDD, but the rest seems to be from a doubled die. Like I told you on another forum, you should send it to James Wiles. He says in the listings that he is looking for a specimen to study and photograph...that is if it is a DDR-001.

              Hey Larry i do plan on sending this coin to Dr.Wiles i just wanted to make double sure it's the real deal by getting more Variety experts to take a look at this dime.The doubling on the M on this dime looks similar to the M doubling on the 1970 D DDR Dime.
