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

        Is this a FS-801 ? The TPGs tend to use multiple names for the DDOs. Since I don't see a photo of the reverse, I cannot answer my own question.

        Question #2: Does this coin have any "milk spots" on the coin ?

        I ask these questions because I know a person who collects the 1961 proof Franklin half dollars with a FS-801 double die reverse. I think he has 4 or 5 of them so far. I will tell him about this coin. He may be interested in it should you post it online somewhere.

          It's the DDR-008. It's similar to the FS-801 with the focal doubling of EPU, but not as dynamic. There aren't any milk spots. It's one of the clearest Franklin's I've seen. IMHO I think it's under graded.
          The reverse is on my earlier post of it before I sent it for grading.
          I uploaded a photo of EPU doubling.

            Nice. Yeah this guy I know is a fan of just the FS-801's. This is a nice variety as well. Congrats.
