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

  • ‘72 Help Please!

    Hello,
    I’m going through a roll of 72’s and I have one I’ve not seen before and am having a bit of trouble identifying. Can anyone give me an ideas of which doubled die this one may be? Thank you so much in advance!

    For this coin, in my opinion, it looks like LIBERTY suffers from mechanical doubling. If the letters appear damaged where one part of the letter is a lot lower, or shelf like it is mechanical damage.
    Mechanical doubling will make the letters look real thin in some places.

    If it were a doubled die, the letters, numbers and other devices would be thicker. That is due to one die image slightly off axis and a second image was superimposed over the first. There might even be a cookie cutter style line on the surface. It is also important to note that a doubled die more than likely will have both impression at close to the same height.

    Most of the 1972 ddo's on LIBERTY show a good amount of separation in the LIB. One set will be slightly higher than the other.

    For the normal, non-ddo's the T in LIBERTY on the horizontal bar can be slightly bowed. Doubling should be pretty evident on IN GOD WE TRUST, especially on TRUST. The T's May have double the normal leg thickness.

    Add in the fact that over half of the 1972 coinage suffered problems with the master die having issues.

    I don't see enough here to call it a DDO. Don't fret, it is one person's opinion, and others should chime in as well.

        Thank you both for your responses. Ive been going through 72 rolls the last couple months and this is the first time I have seen that particular 72. I have some others I need help with particularly the FS-105’s, 106’s & 107’s and to a lesser extent the 109’s. I find them particularly difficult to attribute and I get the different stages confused at times. Some I’m comfortable I have correct…others not so much. The other FS varieties and the lesser DDO’s are a little easier to attribute. Thanks again….
