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

    Hello I'm Brian Leonard from West Virginia. I've been collecting for years but had no education on the topic and as of resent I've been buying some things I like in bulk anyway looking forward to learning and sharing with you all. Last week I bought a coin microscope and found my 1st dlb die reverse wow was awesome anyway after searching YouTube and PCGS (NOVICE AT THIS) I can't find anyone that has a coin like mine it's a Ike 1776-1976 dollar with dlbing on reverse, have any of you heard or can direct me to find? I do plan to open a account as well with PCGS to send some things for grading once I'm confident on what to send. Thanks so much for having me and I look forward to learning and sharing.

    Welcome to the forum/club. Regarding the Ike dollar, unfortunately it is most likely just machine doubling since there aren't any listings for it, but I would need some pictures to be sure.

            Brian-

            I'll e-mail you. Send me a picture of the Ike, front and back. And a close-up of the area in question. I'll re-post the pictures here after you send them to me.

                    Unfortunately, it looks like CoinHunter was right. It looks like Machine Doubling. The doubling you're seeing is shelf like.....flat.

                    Check out this link....

                        Wow a coin with both would be the hardest to decipher even after learning! This is why education is key = never stop learning!

                              Machine or mechanical doubling.
