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

    Multiple layers like you describe are usually just MD. However, there some doubling on profiles of some cents that is the result of reduction lathe doubling. This happens mostly on the forehead and slightly on the nose. You can do a search on 'reduction lathe doubling' to see how it was made if yo are unfamiliar with it.

      From the photos I am thinking it is machine doubling. I cannot rule out some design/lather doubling - it is not a doubled die.
