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

    1938 Jefferson DDR

    Jefferson's are my love so I picked this up on Ebay on 02/09. It was listed as a BU and I ended up winning it for $2.44 + $0.89 shipping. Still a very good deal to me for a BU '38 Jefferson. I used my loupe as I always do and noticed EPU looked odd. However, I noticed the MD on USA and guessed MD. It kept bugging me as I glassed this nickel every night for about 4 days. I still had a feeling something was up. I finally got my PC scope yesterday and these pics represent what I found. I am thinking it is 2-R-II-C (3), if that is the gouge between the C and A of America. If this is it, considering it is BU, should I send it off? PLEASE TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD!

          This is not DDR-002; the die gouge is between the I and C of AMERICA and not the CA of AMERICA as it is on your coin.

          It appears to be machine doubling. However, an in hand examination may prove otherwise.

            Thanks, I got excited. Someone pointed the gouge out on another forum. The splits on the serifs on PLURIBUS still puzzle me.
