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

    1971-D 5C DDR Possibility?

    Good evening! I am reaching out to see if anyone can help identify if a coin is indeed a DDR variety for a 1971-D Jefferson Nickel. I haven’t been able to find a existing example, so it made me question the reality that it is. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

    I don't see any listed about any DDR's for the 1971-D nickel. It is hard to tell what you are looking at from the pictures. Can you take it out of the 2x2 and take some photos? And let us know what you are seeing doubled.

      I attempted to expand the reverse to as big as I could get it on the tablet and I did not see anything significant. That, along with no previous listings lean heavily as to it not being a doubled die, in my opinion.

      Nickels typically show split serifs and some separation in between images. There may even be a thin cookie cutter style line where one impression was done over the other.

      The impressions should be close to the same height for a doubled die. If they are at different heights, suspect machine doubling.

      A post which show both is within my signature block.

        I added some arrows. Apologies for my somewhat lack of understanding regarding double dies.

          Sorry Phil,
          I tried to zoom this also. The zoom becomes to grainy when the photo is taken at 640PX. You'll have to micro or increase your pixels for us to zoom. Or take a close up like this. This is 1945-D DDR-002 / RPM#21 in the Jeffs. This will make it easier for us to evaluate.
          Thanks, Eric
