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

    1995 D cent, look at that face

    Saw the front of Abrahams face is doubled? What causes this to happen? Die deteriation? Thanks for looking. Any feedback is appreciated.

      Mechanical damage as far as I can see. The die moved significantly and as it was lifting, it did not fully clear the coin and sheared away some of the metal. Its a form of damage and to the majority, not collectable. I see PNW attached the flyer, and that is a good reference I pass to others to let them see the difference.

      If it looks like damage it probably is. It has that shelf like appearance, with one area lower than the other. The metal has two different looks to it, one where the area is considered normal and the other exposing the under layers. A doubled die hardly ever does this.
