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

    1962D VDB over VDB inverted

    I noticed, on a 1962D, concentric lines and was taking photos of them when I saw in the view finder a leg of an inverted V over a B. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

    Is this common for this year?

    I would think this is machine doubling.

      The arrows indicate. The inverted V leg, separation and notching on the D. No flat shelving of the letters. I'm not convinced its Machine doubling

        Since the VDB is incuse, it would not have the same characteristics of a doubled die such as nothching. From looking at the condition of the coin, I would say you have a series of gouges/scratches. There is no way it vould be inverted. On the other hand, there have been cases where the VDB has ben doubled, but this is because of striking problems, not hubbing problems.
