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 Cent Obverse Error?

    Ok,
    so I know that when Double eyes are extreme you should see it all over..
    In this case I do but some areas can be pretty faint..
    one thing is for sure, no matter what direction you look at the coin the extra eye doesn't move..

    on VarietyVista.com, there IS a very light DDO for the 1995 year. BUT in the description, it does not list the eye as a source of doubling one has to remember that the eye is an area with very different contours and it is very easy for a slightly misconfigured die to do some damage in that area. To me, it's just, BLAH.

    We cannot match this up to any listed possibilities since the photos provided do not show LIBERTY, or E PLURIBUS UNUM or the date.

    I have not researched a lot about the eyes and the columns on the reverse because to me, in my opinion they are way too minor. In many years of collecting and selling, I have never had a collector walk up to me wishing to purchase one of those variety types. Just sayin' .

    What you should take away from this is that any documented doubles dies - these areas are set in metal and properly documented by researchers. They areas of doubling don't move. These DDO's were discovered 27 years ago. One would think that any additional non-listed DDOs at this present time would have been found and listed by now, unless they are very minor in nature. I don't hold a lot of faith in some one finding a new variety since it has been many many years ago the coins were minted. Just stating facts, and my opinion. Logic and time certainly lay within the formula here.

    Can new discoveries still be found? Sure. But the odds are astronomically low.

      Gary makes some good points. Remember that 1995s were searched extensively once the major DDO was discovered, so finding a new variety would be a scarce occurrence. I zoomed in as much as possible without distortion and I am afraid I just don't see anything in your photos that looks like hub doubling.
