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.

  • 1964 dimes DDR FS-802 or other?

    I recently purchased 4 toned 1964-P dimes together and noticed doubling of "United States" on the reverse of two of them. The doubling is more visible in the word "States" than "United" on one of them. There doesn't seem to be any doubling of letters in any other words on the reverse of the coins. I don't think it's FS801 because the doubling is on the opposite side of the letters compared to mine. The pictures of the FS802 on the PCGS site are doubled more so in the words "of America" and "Dime". NGC Variety plus doesn't have a picture of the FS-802 but states in the description that the doubling is in the words "America" and "Dime". The coins I have don't look to be doubled in "America" or "Dime" but do in the words "United" and "States". The last photo is of the example on the PCGS site. Do you think these are DDR FS-802 or something else? Thanks for any help you can give!

    One thing you have to understand is that these dies that are doubled are done in steel dies. It is the die that has the doubling. Since it is in steel, it will not move.if the area is flat, lower and shelf or step like, it is probably worthless doubling like machine doubling, mechanical damage, ejection doubling or other form of worthless doubling.
