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

    1896 Morgan Dollar---Reverse Doubling

    I have three of these 1896 Morgan Dollars that I found in a small batch of coins that I bouhgt from someone a few years back. The reverse on them all have the same doubling on them that looks like die doubling to me. The only thing my Vam book shows concerning the reverse is the Vam-1B, and it is about some pitting around a couple letters and nothing about any doubling, so if mine is real die doubling, then it should be a new variety. I would appreciate your comments.

    Hopefully I am not mistaking, however, the doubling appears to be MDD (machine damge doubling). If this is the case, then it could happen on a die that is listed as a VAM which would not make it a new discovery piece, just a VAM with this form of doubling.
