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

  • 2000-P 25c The Palmetto State, Multiple Err, Doubling!.

    Hello Coneca, I found this 25c The Palmetto State Quarter (business) in my collection, Reverse side has some interesting Errors, several die breaks/cracks, doubling stronger on certain elements. Obverse has few minor die cracks, State of America doubling!. Looking for more information and experts views on it.. Thank you.

    In my opinion, it appears to be lower and shelf like. It is either mechanical doubling or die deterioration. In any event, it is worthless doubling.

    In addition, this website lists the doubled dies and varieties that were recognized by CONECA.

    No DDOs or DDRs listed for that coin year or state.

      Gary, there are several elements and mint error issues in that coin besides doubling, you did not say anything about those??.
      Not sure if you looked at the state map boundaries right below "The palmetto State area-map doubling..! besides letter elements.

      Also wondering about what you said
      "No DDOs/DDRs listed
      for that coin year or state" does this mean, such Error coin" cannot be recognized or can't be found or reported?. Thanks

        what it means is that there are no known DDO's or DDR's listed for that year. Also the map boundaries are also mechanical or die deterioration, so worthless doubling.

          That was my opinion, and I am sticking with it. I did not see anything else worth mentioning. Die cracks end up happening, and it's pretty common. It would have to be something super dramatic for some one to even consider it to be a valuable die crack.

          quarter dies last about 325,000 strikes before being retired from service. That means there were other mint state type coins available out there, from the same die for 23 years and no one found one ? I trust my sources when I offer opinions. New discoveries are occasionally found.... like 3 or 4 a year, but thousands of people claim to find one just about every day.

          Place a post in the CONECA SERVICES area, under ATTRIBUTIONS on this forum and let the CONECA staff see the photos. I have little hope that this one is a winner.

            I agree with ME, the mathematical probability of the 100`s of 1,000`s of eyeballs CRH from the start of each new year, and after 23 years and 742,576,000 of the 2000 P coins minted with nobody else finding a DDO/DDR for this coin, "if the Die to produce it existed' becomes impossible. If it doesn't match exactly any listed or none are listed for coins of this age, then it has to be something else.
