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

    McHENRY Quarter find

    Found the quarter pictured below, I'm thinking it is a double die. However. I'd like to get the groups opinion. Notice the center of the blast has fragments I think are doubling. and the windows are not the usual machine double kind, these are textured and not the shinny flat type.

    Typically double dies exhibit doubling at the same level of the area in question.
    If the area looks dug in or takes away metal from the area, its a form of machine doubling.
    Unless there is extra metal present, this is probably machine doubling.

    Machine doubling is weird, some times you can see the direction the die was lifted and it will affect a certain amount of the design. From the two photos, it looks like the die lifted and struck objects facing south, meaning the die lifted slightly to the North.
