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

    A lot of these "extra" columns have been showing up as of late and I feel that the majority are from a plating issue (where the copper ridges and not the zinc core during the striking of the coin).

    While there are some extra columns that are being formed by a doubled die, as I said, the majority are not. If the "extra" columns are unevenly spaced from each other or tilted at an angle from the primary columns, then it is more than likely not a doubled die.

    From your pictures, it is hard to tell what you have and only an in hand examination of the coin will tell the whole story. If you want, send it on down to me and I'll take a look at it.
