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

      I agree with Bob. The letters are thin and it appears shelf like. That is important to note. The impressions are struck into the steel dies. That is sunk into the dies will be raised on the coin.

      If the die is worn or simply is not aligned so the die is lifted on a slight angle instead of straight up, part of the devices ( numbers, letters, design) can be sheered away.

        It is an "I" stamped over an "I" and a "B" stamped over a "B" . Both letters...the one on top and the one below exhibit their own " shelf " ....if I can describe it correctly. I am sorry I cannot post closer exhibits or better pics ...but I have to reduce the size of the photos to post. You both know I greatly appreciate your input. I will definitely be sending this coin to Dr. Wiles for analysis. Will post results.....and "Thank You both".

          No it is not. It's damage from the original strike. If there are no doubled dies for that year, I have a good hunch this one is not.

          It's your coin, your money and time. Good luck with that.

            I certainly do hope you would let us know the results, but you could save yourself the headache by just reviewing how coins are made. There is just no way this could happen during the minting process. Another 'stamping' can't affect some letters in the middle of a word while not affecting others. Anyway, please do what you feel you need to do.

            Just for your info, over 99% of all coins that are said to be headed to Dr. Wiles, or some other attributer because they don't like our response here, do not get their results posted here. I don't know if it is embarrassment, or just forgetfulness, but we just plain don't get the results. It is a pity because it could be a great learning tool. I myself have over 50 years of experience, and Gary has tons of experience also examining coins. But I will reiterate, do what you feel is best.

              I have to agree with the others. It's md. The planchette was struck and then bounced a little, shifting and mashing the original strike.
