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

    Other examples I've seen appear to be cases of machine doubling. Machine doubling is incredibly common on S-mintmark cents from 1968 through the early 1970's.

        There is only one 1969-S Lincoln cent that will show doubling on the VDB and not have it be machine doubling and that is the 1969-S, DDO-001.

        What confuses most people is that the VDB, even when it is machine doubling, is incused and that throws people for a loop. However, it is the only way it could happen. As the coin bounces back up into the retreating die if it hits that portion of the die with the VDB, which is raised on the die, it will cause another partial or whole VDB to appear.
