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

      It's listed as a doubled die on doubled die.com maybe v vista does not recognise it the listing shows a nice die scratch or gouge that comes from the one and shoot over top of the nine if you look at the photo one of the ones of my date shows this and all the doubling appears the same I'm adding their image

        Notice how the splitting on the 2 in the date is in the middle, while your coin has doubling to the right. Maybe this will help, a doubled die is a coin that was struck by dies (the things that stamp the design on a black coin) that were accidentally prepared with double images. A coin that has machine doubling is a result of a coin sliding a little in the die before it falls out, leaving doubled looking lettering that is just normal lettering that has been smushed on one side

          This coin is not the doubled die you show. It does have the master die doubling for the date. Even the MD is in a different direction. However, what you are looking at is as I said before, classic MD.

            The doubling needs to be rounded, not flat cutting into the existing devices. This is DDO-002:
