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

        All the 70-s have the PR designation, which means those are proof versions of the 70 S coins.

        In case you did not know, you can click on the links where those 70S proof coins were that OCC offered and additional photos would be displayed.

        The original posters coin looks like a typical circulated coin, a business strike if you will.

        Sending in a variety coin to get slabbed can be quite expensive from ANACS, PCGS and NGC. It depends if it's a single coin submission or multiple coins. I dont recommend trying to speed up a coin submission when it involves a variety, since sometimes they have to ship the coin out to an attributer, which can take weeks.

        With no busines strikes documented as a doubled die reverses by CONECA, I would recommend at best, simply posting here on the CONECA forum under attribution area. Put in as good photographs as you can and as much as you can in text to describe what you see. They may take a long time to get back to you.

        .They pre-screen everything on the attribution side to cut down the burden on the attributors. IF they determine that it may merit for a person to send it in for an in hand attribution, they will let the person know. One last thing is your post under attribution should be private, only you and the CONECA staff should be able to see it. Again, its vital to make that FIRST post as best it can be. The staff may take a long time before they make a 2nd pass on posts.

        I would not be surprised at all to say it's mechanical doubling or some other form of worthless doubling

        The coin looks like it was struck by a well worn die.
        If the area in question looks lower and shelf like, it may be worthless doubling which was real common in the 1960s and 70s.

        The full reverse photo shows how "old" that die really was, and a die chip was starting within the U of United. When dies are really worn, it's very common for them to produce mechanical issues.
