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

    2022 Maya Angelou - 'OU' reverse question

    Hi All. This was mentioned in another post and I am curious as well.

    The 'OU' in ANGELOU on the reverse seems to have a shadow 'OU' next to it. All of these Maya Angelou's I have looked at have this "shadow" so it is common. It is weird but it almost presents as a clash when you are looking at it and moving it in the light but then you realize it is duplicating the letters. So it must be some kind of MD - like push doubling but I cannot seem to find a name for it. Sorry for the glare but that was the only way to get the shadows to show up.

    Thanks for any comments / opinions

    Ok I guess this is a really dumb question? Or was it already answered? I did search on the forum and did not see this topic covered. Please let me know one way or the other so I will not be in the dark with my ignorance

      I see what you are talking about. In looks almost like a shadow.
      I'd have to see one of these in hand in order to say what it is. But let us ponder a bit.
      IF it is on multiple dies in the same basic area, then it may be related to a small defect in the master hub which makes the dies.
      It looks like the area dented the die. When they made the dies, there might have been a little too much pressure involved or something in the creation of the die(s) was done slightly wrong.

      It's truly difficult to know at this point. If I find one of these with that issue, I will put it under the scope.

        Is this a Philadelphia coin or a Denver?
