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.

    2011-D N/A (SACAGAWEA) DOLLAR multiple strikes in inclusing device

    The edging is fairly torn up, but I can see several strikes from the star die in a very small area where there should only be one strike. This coin appears to have been struck several times by the edge lettering die, maybe it got stuck ? I can't find anything like this for a comp. Should I get this one graded? Also, very minor misaligned die on the obv being narrowest around 7 oclock. I forgot to mention this is coin is UNC (hard to tell from the photos) but you can see the mint grease smeared around the coin rim from 9 oclock to 12 oclock.

      This coin is uncirculated from a new roll of 2011 n/a dollars. So, it hasn't had much opportunity for pmd other than bag damage. I do not think it would get extra stars inclused into the rim from bag damage, but thank you for your opinion. I appreciate the input, and good luck hunting!

        Check out the article. Photos need to have just the right amount of lighting to comprehend what going on. It's difficult for me to assess the coin with the photos currentlt available.

          Thank you! I know about the overlapped, and double edge lettering, and how the lettering is applied to A, or B varieties. This one has only one set of lettering except for the damaged area. I will post more photos when I get home from work today, but basically the rest of the rim looks normal. In the photos I've already posted what you are seeing is not blurry. It is smeared metal . The actual coin looks very close to how the photos look. To me it looks like the inclusing die gouged the coin edge and struck it multiple times dragging through the metal. My theory is that it got stuck because of the coin has a slightly misaligned strike, and out of round.

            I uploaded the new photos. The more I think about this one the more questions I have. I'm thinking it's damaged similar to a double strike, but there is so much hoopla around the edge lettering on these coins I want to verify that it's not something special that I might want to get graded?

              In my opinion, it's best to post this in the coneca services forum under examinations. It may be looked at and you should be given an opinion on what it is. If you send itvto a third party grading service, even to ANACS, the cost will be upwards of 50+ usd to get the coin slabbed. If there is a coin show coming to your area, you may find an ANACS representative at some shows. Or, maybe a reliable dealer may be able to give a better opinion about the issue.

              This might be a defective planchet, it could have easily crumbled if the alloy mix wasn't completely filled in around the edge. Taking photos for people to comprehend what is going on is an art. I can partially see something, but I cannot give an confident assessment on what's been provided.

                Thanks! I'll post it. Yes sir, photographing the edge of a coin is challenging. lol I probably took 100 photos these were the best of the batch.
