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

    1913 D Wheat with extra thickness in TY and 1 of date. What do you think?

    Came across this 1913 D Lincoln and noticed that the TY and first 1 in the date are much thicker than the other letters and digits. Also looks like could possibly be doubling in the eye and ear lobe. Just wanting to see if you guys think it might be something. Thanks for looking.

    By looking at the condition of the outer portions of the coin, there is substantial die deterioration...especially on the back of the jacket and all area between the rim and the outer devices. Dies do deteriorate from the outside to the inside since there is substantially more metal at the center of the die and it starts out as conical in shape. In my opinion, everything you are seeing is the result of die deterioration.

      I agree with Bob about the extreme die wear (deterioration) - the coin also has been harshly cleaned.
