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

    Double Struck 1795 LCC

    Howdy fellow error freaks,

    I recently acquired a no date Liberty Cap Cent that I have attributed as a 1795 plain edge S-78. What's interesting about it is it has a doubled profile but the doubling isn't evenly spaced so I belive it was double struck.





    Opinions are greatly appreciated.

    Too bad this coin wasn't in better shape. It is a significant find if it is in fact double struck.

      I am sure that Mike will get on this one. It does look like it was double struck and I would have liked to have seen it in at least a G-4.

        It may indeed have been double struck. But a lot of early cents show strong doubling of the face that presumably represents the 18th century equivalent of machine doubling. There's no way to determine which type of error this is, given the advanced state of wear and associated heavy damage.
