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

    New 1726-2026 Nickel Anomalies?

    These photos are examples from a new 1726-2026 roll of Nickels. From the Thickness of the numbers and the doubling of the sixes would these be DDO?

    Coneca forum rules state one coin per post. Even though you are posting about all the same coin, it can get quite confusing. Hopefully people will refer to each numbered coin, should they say yes or no to one or several.
    Plus, some folk many not have a normal example of this coin to compare, so to them, they all look the same, maybe.

    I am not a big fan of the single squeeze era. Eaxtellcoins is a good attributor, and he might end up looking these over.

    In my opinion, extra thickness is very subjective, unless it is very obvious, compared to nickels of the same year.

      Hi Mr. Kozera,
      Thank you for your response to my recent inquiry on the 2026 nickels. I think I forgot that I was not supposed to send more than one coin in an inquiry, however, as you pointed out, they are of the same variety and we're very similar in nature so I thought it shouldn't be a problem. Actually, half of the roll had these anomalies. I forgot to mention that they are also Full Step nickels. At the time I located these coins I did have an example of a 2026-D Nickel to compare these coins to. These numbers on the coins are definitely a different thickness than the example I had before posting my inquiry.

      I have done some research on your suggestion that these might be single squeezed era coins. I will send one to Dr. Wiles at Variety Vista to get his opinion as well.

      I would like to ask you if these are a single squeezed era DDO coins, is there any value in such a coin with a full step designator?

      Thank you again for your assistance, you are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate you.
