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

    1865 Indian Head Cent DBL Obv (Longacre?)

    BJ,

    I have a 1865 IHC with what I believe to be the Longacre Doubling. The coin is in EF to AU condition with a few surface blotches. Is there any added value for a Longacre Doubled 1865 IHC versus a 1865 IHC of the same condition without any doubling. I understand that the hub doubling is probably one of the most sought after and most valuable types of doubling. The pic is about the best I can do. The coin is dark green (not the disease kind of green but more like a painted green) and is hard to capture a nice clear pic.

    Longacre doubling is very common affect seen on IHPs and therefore does not command a premium. There are examples of doubled dies, mis-placed and repunched dates on IHPs that do increase the value of the coins affetced.

      Thank you once again, BJ. I knew, from what I've read, that the Longacre doubling is very common on IHC. Just didn't know if there is "any" additional value added to the Longacre doubled coin over a non doubled. I haven't noticed any other doubling other than the feathers and all the lettering on the Obverse. I'll try to refrain from sending anymore post for a day or so.

      Have a great remainder of the weekend.
