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

    Other 1972 LMC Anomalies

    Bob take a look at “C” It’s similar to the one I showed you the other day. Have you seen this one before? What is it?
    Now take a look at another coin, the three pics labeled “A.” Do you see the anomaly off the left of the “2” and again at the bottom of the 7? I’ve never seen either of these on a 72 LMC before. Do you think that raised area on the planchet beneath the 7 could be a remanent of another 7 or just a simple Planchet defect? What about that bit of metal off the left of the two? There is also an “arching” anomaly of sorts on the inside corner of the two. What is that? I haven’t come across any of these before in my 72 roll hunting. Is this stuff you’ve seen or come across before in studying the ‘72’s?
    Finally take a look at the last three but particularly the double photo comparison I made. When I took the pic straight forward the letters seemed normal. However when I rotated to the coin ever so slightly look what happened. The devices seem to have doubled. What am I seeing here? Is it anything significant? I’m interested as to how a simple slight rotation of the coin causes these “anomalies” to pop out like that on the letters T, R, & U? Is it anything that should be taken a closer look at and is it considered hub doubling? I would tend to think so but that’s why I ask.
    Thanks Bob. I appreciate all of your feedback. Maybe soon I’ll be able to find and bring you something yet to be discovered. I’m like you I think the 1972 series could have more to offer yet.
    Last thing, the 87-D RPM I sent you pics of. Is it worth my time to send it to Jason and pay the fee to have him consider it for attribution? Let me know what you think.

    Thanks for Everything Bob,
    Don

    Don, I don't recall getting 1987D pics from you. Could you make sure you sent them? As far as these 'planchet defects' go, that's pretty much exactly what you have. Chips, gouges, cracks. This includes what you are seeing on the 2 of the date here. As far as turning the coin, and seeing something a bit different, you are! The level of the device changes as you turn it, as does the angle. Glare affects these devices, and that's what you are seeing. When you turned it, you caught a glimpse of minor MD and some of the die deterioration also.
    The main reason I ask people to look at coins with different lighting angles is that a true doubled die would look like a doubled die, no matter which direction the light is coming from. Glare is our worst enemy, especially on mint red coins.
