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

    Hard to tell from the photo, but this looks like PMD (strike doubling) to me.

      I would say no with all the deterioration and MD around it

          And it can be strike doubling, machine doubling as well. The chin looks like damage for sure, it looks as if part of the metal was sheered away. Doubled dies add thickness and usually close to the same height.

          IGW does look like it MIGHT have a tiny chance in being what some call "extra thickness", but it probably is NOT, it may just be the angle and lighting. It t is difficult to assess at this weird angle.

          This website lists confirmed years and examples of Washington Quarters varieties - which this is, it's not a mint error, FYI.

          IF there is no listing there, that means one hasn't been found in 24 years. And odds of finding a "new discovery" is, well, slim to none.

          It would help a lot if you:
          Show straight up and down photos so it is easier to match with any other listed examples.
          Show us more photos of the coin, especially of the affected side so we can assess it better.
          A full obverse and reverse is a nice gesture as well, so we can determine anything additional from them.

          In my signature block is an article on machine doubling/strike doubling.

                I agree with Kloccwork419 about the MD on the chin.
