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

  • What a trip! 1960 D Lincoln

    Hello,
    I have a 1960 D Lincoln Cent that I would say is the 1DO-003. The tripling is very apparent at the tail of the 9 as described in Coppercoins.com, however it clear at top of the 6 as well. I really hope my pictures are good enough to show the healthy doubling going on many different locations on the coin. The zero of the date had me scratching my head because I didn’t think it was the 003. The tripling is undeniable. Is there another known triple that I failed to find? Could this be an EDS of the the 003?

    Again, thank you for your time!

    In my opinion, this coin you have looks like a small date. The 1DO-003.is a large date. The tripling needs to be at the south end of the 9, not the northern inner curl. The northern inner curl is master hub doubling, very common on the 1960 Lincoln cent.

      I do see a small date here. Do you see the ends of the curls pointing in different directions? Do you see a secondary D north of the MM? The zero has something seemingly extra south east, but it seems to show all thee other aspects of a sm/lg. Do you know where I can find a picture of an EDS example of a sm/lg? I would love to compare for myself. Isn’t a sm/lg really a sm/lg/lg? If it is, why is it not identified as such. Isn’t it necessary for 2 lg. offset zeros to create the effect of a zero in a zero. The hole in a sm date zero is smaller than the hole in a lg date zero. How would we see the rim of a lg date inside the ring of a small date without a secondary large date that wasn’t perfectly offset from the other?
