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.

    1956 Lincoln Penny possible DDO-005

    I am looking at a 1956 Lincoln penny. This is the same coin as the two previous posts. I am looking at the pictures of a DDO-005. The coin has some of the die markers from this DDO. It appears to have a die chip on the '6' in the date. It also has Die crack Southwest from bust corner to rim, Die clash as throat and in front of vest, Die chip on T of CENT, Die crack in hair and die crack in forehead. It does not appear to have a die chip in the right wheat grain or a die chip in the eye. Thoughts or comments?

    I have to find the other posts because I just cant' tell if the doubled eyelid is correct. As you have probably been told, you always want to match the variety first. Markers are all secondary to that. There could be some markers, but not all because of the time frame in which the marker was made. I will ;look for the other posts and see if you are correct.

      I lean toward it being coincidental machine doubling on the eye - and it not being DDO-005.
