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

      Hate to be the one to tell you this, but thats not it. I dont see any doubling and its definitely not FS-801. I think what your seeing is glare from the light playing tricks on you.

        It had me fooled. After looking at the images of DDR-004 they do not look the same. I am still thinking the left wheat stem is thicker than the right but it is not FS-801. My apologies for any confusion.

          Why delete the pictures and the post?

            I'm sorry but, I have a coin microscope with LED lighting and it sucks. I wish I would have researched scopes more before buying it. No matter what I've tried with it, the lighting causes crazy shadows and glare. That was the case with these pictures.

              That may be true but deleting the pictures and the post isn’t helping anyone. Other users can see what the comments are about and learn from it.

              If you have a hand held scope, turn off the light thats inside of it and use an outside light source. If you are using an outside light source, diffuse it to help with the glare

                This is what I have.

                  Not familiar with that type of digital microscope. Can you shut off the light? If so then you can try other light sources from different angles. I have an OTT-LITE model OTL-13BRB that I use with printer paper to reduce glare when needed. But I still find proof/lustrous coins challenging to get decent images of.

                    I would turn that light off and use a separate diffused light from the outside. Plus, using a scope to search coins isnt very reliable. Too many ways to get a false positive or be looking to close at something thats not there

                      Thank you.
                      I'll try that outside lighting suggestion. I generally only use the microscope for photos. I use a 10X loop to access coins basically.
