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

    Question about 1965 Washington Quarter DDO-003 Listing

    I recently sent a message to Dr. Wiles inquiring about this, and he suggested that I post here to ask about it. No matter how much I look at this listing, all I see is circulation flattening on the date and no evidence of spread. While hunting quarters recently, I did my best to look for badly circulation flattened coins and to compare the diameter of the inside of the 9 and 6 with those listed for DDO-003, and I found that nearly all of them were consistent. Is it possible that this listing is in fact only circulation damage? Am I simply not seeing the actual doubling on this coin? I would be very grateful if someone could explain to me where the doubling is on this listing, because I'm simply not seeing it.

    Since Dr. Wiles added the die to the listings, only he would be able to answer the question. As the attributer, I am sure he noted something in order to list it in the first place. To have someone else guess or explain why he listed it is puzzling at best. If we had the actual coin in hand, we could probably find an answer. My first impression is that it is exactly what he says it is. As an attributer myself, I know it is difficult at best to remember each and every coin I listed. Sorry I don't have anything more than that for you.

      Thanks Bob, I figured there probably wouldn't be much anyone could say. Just thought I'd throw it out there as a die variety I am personally a little skeptical of.

        I couldn't agree more Sam. This is one of the many areas of numismatics that people find difficult to understand and accept. Another area is what some attributors describe as too minor to list. What I think is listable may not be listed by another attributor. Maybe this coin falls into that category. I will check with some of my sources to see if I can get a copy of this coin and examine it myself. Someone I know should have it and will send it to me to look at.

          Thanks Bob! I'll be very interested to hear what you find if you're able to track it down.
