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

    1982 Lincoln Cent DDO & DDR?

    I had this penny that I had originally marked as DDR and upon further inspection I noticed the obverse also had possible signs of doubling. Could you take a look and advise if I am half wrong or totally wrong? Also, if any of the doubling is confirmed, what would be the value of this coin?

    The reverse of this 1982 appears to have machine doubling, evident on the TED of UNITED and some of the letters in STATES.

    The obverse is harder to tell. The extra thickness may have come from post mint damage (coin counting machine that has rolled over the peripheral design elements). From the pictures of LIBERTY, I can not see any notching on the letters' serifs.

    In my opinion, neither obverse or reverse is a doubled die.

      1982 Cent

      Thanks for setting me straight BJ. I'm beginning to better identify and understand the difference between Strike Doubling and Doubled Dies. This website is a great learning tool.
