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

    1959 ROOSEVELT DDO-001?

    The search continues I ran across a 1959 Roosevelt Brilliant Proof with just a dusting of gold and graded by PCGS as PR67. I see some extra thickness on the date, IGWT and especially the designer's initials. Does anyone else see what I see? No die markers are noted.

    I think I see MD on the top of the date. I am not detecting the any class VI distortion...

      I have attached a picture of 4 other randomly selected 1959 Roosevelt Dimes from PCGS website with the subject dime in the center. I see a puffiness of the lettering of IGWT, the date and especially the designers initials. Is that an example of Class VI distortion? It looks similar although not as extreme as in the 1956 Franklin you reviewed.

        You have to also remember that proof coins were purposely struck more than one time (at least twice). They did this to ensure a really strong strike. On many occasions, this led to the appearance of slight extra thickness. It is not a hub doubling variety, but rather a striking issue.

          When we open up dime attributions, and I do not have any sort of time estimate for this, we can look this. The first area we are opening is Jefferson nickels.
