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

    1972-D Lincoln Cent DDO?

    Hello,

    Found this 1972-D DDO. I think it's DDO-005, 5-O-VIII, MDS? Just looking for some opinions. Thanks in advance.

    I looked at the example on variety vista.
    It appears that the location of your mintmark is different than the one on variety vista.
    Yours looks quite a bit more south ?!

    They had some master die issues in 1972.

      This is not DDO-005. First off, it does not show the doubling over the crossbar of the 2 that DDO-005 does. You should always match the doubling first. From what I can see, your coin is one of the 50% of all cents struck this year with a master doubled die. The die gouge in the top of the S is one of the markers for this master doubled die, but ultimately, he lack of the doubling above the 2 confirms it not being anything unique for the year.
