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

    In my opinion, it looks like die deterioration to me, BUT the WE in IGWT looks funky.
    The WE is not the same look as the example on coppercoins.com.

    Doubled dies are just that, a piece of steel called a working die which has received more than one impression that was slightly off from each other. That being said, the coin should resemble almost exactly what is seen by the attributers photos. There is not a lot of wiggle room in this, since the working dies are made of steel and the impressions do not move.

      I agree that this is not FS-102. Even on a late die state coin, you can see the doubling, although it is mushy. I agree 100% with Gary that it is die deterioration.
