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

    1960 D D/D RPM

    Ok,
    i apologize for digging up a dead post.
    I just couldn't let it go, like a dig with a bone... I played with lighting and stuff and I was able to get some much better pics of the potential RPM discovery.
    I really hope the new pictures can help you see what I do..
    Thanks much gentlemen!

    To me, that looks like a stain. Someone might need to see it in hand. With your light angle, that should show better if it was raised. I see what your pointing out but I think its a case of pareidolia

      The lighting is way better, but it is out of focus. From what I can see, the font and thickness of the area is alarming.
      And this coin is in a mylar? In order to provide a better assessment of any coin, it's best to take photos if possible raw, without any distractions.
      The mylar can act as a mirror/prism for the light. it will may also diffuse that area in general.
      This may be why the camera is not focusing on the coin, but on the thin plastic itself.

      All we can do is give opinions on what we see directly in front of us when it comes to photos. What is provided is what we see.

      I understand your concern about the area. I know many people who have sent coins in for piece of mind rather than for the value.

      I have two potentially unlisted varieties as well - so far and I am waiting for the attribution section for the cents to open up and they are going to be looked at. Jason C is aware of these finds and his team is working pretty hard behind the scenes to get everything up and running correctly. I have a lot of patience, it will be open soon enough.

      I suggest labeling that coin in a 2x2 flip with a paper insert and naming it something that its easy to locate. When attributions at CONECA is open, I suggest sending them the very best, clearest photos you can of the area. One photo should have at least a very good focused and direct on photograph of that area so they can tell if it is a possibility or have an explanation for the area. If they consider it a possibility, they will ask that the coin be sent in.

      One would think IF it was that bold and obvious, why would it NOT be listed over the last 60+ years? Dies press more than one coin, even in the most limited capacity.

        Sounds good..
        Its in a flip and i used the plastic to take the picture..
        also its very possible to see things in old pennys..
        I get it bc I've been there, possible that's the answer but I'm still convinced it's not..
        I will take raw coin pic's today in the sun light.
        Also It looks like it's almost been removed or something.
        I say that bc I can see small mass left behind. Mainly in the Vertical part of the D and the lower section of D which is dependent on the light direction.
        honestly you can hold it in hand and see the Extra D shimmer in the light..
        I agree it looks like a Stian in photos, but in hand it looks like a rpm..
        Thank you guys and I will look into sending off to conceca attributions..

          I agree with what Gary is saying. This one is best looked at by an attributer in hand. I sure wish I could still do attributions because I would be interested in looking at this one. As Gary said, wait for the cent attributions to open up and then contact the assigned attributer to submit this coin for a look.

              Sorry,
              last comment I will make for post.
              i added a new picture..
              i placed it back under my Mickey mouse scope and noticed a new revelation.
              two marks angled south east in parallel..
              Much like tooling marks..
              could this cause the coin to appear to be a RPM or is that tooling mark from removing the mis placed Mint mark?

                Bottom center does not look the same as those other marks. There are over 100 rpms for this year and mintmark. This is a large date. I might have time in a few days to see if one matches but it will take some time.

                  Now in the last pic, the secondary D is clearly a stain. Im not seeing anything that says RPM to me.

                    Lol,
                    I know Work419 bc thats a $15 scope that has terrible 490 resolution..
                    The other pics are my gal S10E cell phone zoomed in.
                    Not saying you're incorrect bc it's still very possible it's just pmd.
                    I just need to get a cell microscope attachment or better scope really bad.
