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

      There’s never been a serif end of FG-G for the 1973 Cent, but the US Mint at one time teased one. It and the rest of G are seen doubled on these same 2 nubling subjects. Additional nubling under the UNITED-I flair.

        I'm seeing the well defined serif on the G but I'm having a little trouble trying to follow what you are saying in your initial post.

        I'm confident it made sense to you when writing it but I'm having trouble following along and don't understand if you have a question or are trying to clarify something you believe about the design in 1973.

        It might be easier to follow if you used words that have known definitions. (I'm getting tripped up on "nubbling" and "second tier" and sentences like "It seems since both, second highest tier doubling is apparent and a nub of the uppermost corner of Lincoln Memorial is present, the errant north doubling remaining of the second highest tier of Lincoln Memorial, where south doubling of the nub on the uppermost corner.")

          FWIW, I'll also mention that the 1973 reverse was a one year design with the large FG.

            I kind of want to think it has to do with the new type of proof production. Sand blasting creating a dull round corner on the upper left of Lincoln Memorial.

              Don't think this effect would be caused by any sandblasting of the proof dies.

              (As I understand it the sandblasting on the dies creates the cameo appearance on the coins and this started decades before 1973.)
