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

    1962 D: I originally posted this in my introduction message, reposted here

    This is my first posting.
    Here are pictures of a 1962 D penny with what I believe is an RPM. I was looking at Ken Potter's listing and this looks like one of the three varieties he listed: RPM #1 D/D east.
    The date looks like it may be machine doubling, right? I'm asking these questions to clarify these things for myself.
    Thanks for looking.

      You are correct in that the date has machine doubling. As far as whether or not it is an RPM, I just can't tell. You said you thought it might be RPM from Ken Potter's listing? Could you give me a link to that listing? I know of Variety Vista, Coppercoins, and Wexler's listings only.

        Thanks Bob. Here is the link I found the Ken Potter posting. On this link it has a link to go back to his home page.

          Thank you very much for the link. The die numbers that Ken uses on his for sale page is the Variety Vista number.
          After looking at that link, I can tell you for sure that your coin is NOT RPM-001. The look and mintmark position are incorrect for that variety.

          I am not convinced that your coin is an RPM because of the glare with the photo. I am adding the link for all 1962D RPMS listed by VV. You may want to check these and see if you can narrow it down.
