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

    There are no documented doubled die reverses for 1983 from Denver. Nothing on coppercoins nor varietyvista.

        New varieties are occasionally found, but they do not happen that often. In the 1950s through the 1970s it seems like the demand for more coins in the USA rose and the US Mint had its hands full. Some corners may have been cut, and working dies were probably used beyond their scheduled lifetime of stiking coins. Each working die usually can last to about 1 million Lincoln cents before being retired. I have seen quite a few coins that were in the very late die stage,almost looked worn and flat appearance, in uncirculated condition.

        If you want another opinion, you can patiently wait here or, post in the coneca services area under attributions, on the main page of this forum. Time permitting, a coneca assigned attributor should review the photos and data you provide and offer their opinion as well.

        Happy hunting.
