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

  • 1975S Nice Doubled Eye.


    Possible Doubled eye directly below normal placement?
    You don't need a scope to see it but I did snap a few shots..
    Also,
    I can't find anything on 1975S Doubled anything..
    Under scope I believe I see light extra thickness in motto and Liberty.
    Thanks in advance!

    I see what you are referring to, but I would have to say this is not a doubled eye. If this were a genuine doubled die, then there would be other doubling in and around this area because the spread is so significant. Places like the forehead and the nose would also have significant doubling. In addition, even eyeballing the anomaly with the pics, it is not the exact size of the primary eye. What is it? I don't know but it could be anything from a hit, to lighting issues.
    As far as extra thickness on some devices, thickness on the devices can also come from die and circulation wear. I don't see anything on your full coin shots that looks like class 6 hub doubling.

      The nose, chin, ear front of body and aft is doubled.
      I kinda hid it bc I was afraid it would be called MD.
      ​​​​​yea I suck at life..
      the 3rd picture you can see the chin I tried to hide and 5th picture you can see the nose splitting, which I angled the scope to hide..
      I know the B in Liberty has some minor splitting and the ear is doubled to the front and aft.

      I can take another shot so you can see better..

          I actually did see some of that doubling on your initial set of photos. (especially on the nose). I assumed you realized it was MD or something else and not associated with the doubling you were trying to get us to comment on. And that is perfectly fine as it keeps our attention on the subject at hand. An important aspect of this doubling is that it is not in the same direction as the eye 'doubling'...especially to mark at the throat. Once again, a determining factor here is why there would be strong doubling there, but not the same doubling on all of the devices in that area.
          Once again, if you are not satisfied with the opinions supplied, you can certainly submit them to an attributer when the time comes to send them in. Having them 'previewed' here on the forum can save you those fees, but I can also state that we don't always get it right here. The fact you have the coin in hand is a substantial part of the process if we can't figure it out with photos.

            I'm good with your answers..
            just intuitive on whats going on with it.
            I dont Mean to come off as abrasive or rude.

            I checked out the designers initials and found VDB directly below the intended placement.
            I'm seriously thinking this is a clashed coin.
            atleast that's the only thing that's making sense rn..

              You can see what I'm referring to in this pic about designers initials.

                I don't see you coming off as rude or abrasive, so don't sweat it. You are free to think whatever you wish. I am just offering an educated opinion. I can tell you one thing though; you need to remember that the designers initials (VDB) were raised on the die, therefore were incuse on the coin. I don't see any indications of a clash either, but as before, you have the coin in hand, and I do not.

                  We are here to help you out as best we can. Bob P. answers a lot of questions in here and is doing a dynamite job.

                  You might be able to self-attribute most of these yourself by visiting a few different websites like http://varietyvista.com, https://coppercoins.com and/or https://doubleddie.com.

                  On Variety Vista - There are no doubled die obverses listed. Hence, a quick check there might have helped you determine the likelihood of this being a DDO.

                  If there isn't a very close match on one of those websites for a doubled die, then the odds are, it probably is not.

                  FYI- The area under Lincoln's chin is a hot spot for die clashes, but as Bob mentioned he didn't see any clashes, so be it.

                  It takes a LOT of patience when roll hunting, especially if the rolls are circulated from the bank.
