oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5258 Posts	Posted Yesterday 1:25 pm The 2x2 flip stated that this was "triple struck". What I can see is that the lower part of the Jefferson bust is incomplete, and there are faint raised shadow images above and on either side of the dome on the reverse. Any insight as to what actually happened would be appreciated Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98870 Posts	Posted Yesterday 3:25 pm It looks like a lot of die polishing happened on the obverse side not really seeing any 'triple' struck on the reverse, but some radial flow lines from a tire die. Is this your coin? If so, can we get some close-ups? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

MrPink2018 Pillar of the Community United States 2503 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:02 pm pix are a little dark to see much detail, but I see some Machine Doubling and what appears to be an over-polished die, which makes the head appear to be 'floating', sort of like the 'floating' roof effect on some late '60s/early '70s LMC reverses.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75387 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:37 pm I agree with Dearborn. Definitely not "Triple Struck" as the holder said. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5258 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:07 pm OK, thanks, folks: I'm calling it an overpolished die, some Machine Doubling, and a bit of hard to photograph die clash. I couldn't seeing any "triple strike" either, whatever the person who wrote that meant. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6611 Posts	Posted Today 19H 30M ago Yeah, when they scrubbed out that die clash, looks like they wore down the obverse die face right into the bust. Very over-polished. Pretty cool though! Similar in concept to the 3 and 3.5 legged Buffalo nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
