CoinWorld - When a coin is struck for circulation, a certain rhythm is at play: A planchet is dropped onto the anvil die, the planchet is struck, while resting inside the collar, by hammer and anvil dies, and the coin is ejected as a new planchet is dropped into place to repeat the cycle. Again and again.  The rhythm was interrupted, however, when the featured 1952-D Lincoln Cent was struck, creating an error coin that many collectors would find appealing. The cent was double struck within the collar, with the coin rotating about 30 degrees between strikes. The result is two sets of overlapping designs with the classic and distinctive look of a genuine double-struck coin. Read the Entire Article

Would think one strike in collar, but the indent and angle of the other strike would equal triple strike, with two out of the collar or off center. Remember I'm still learning. Thanks, Doug.
edit: Thanks, for sharing. Interesting example.

Can't get my brain wrapped around this! This then didn't fully eject, interrupting insertion of next planchet, correct. It is definitely double struck w/rotation. If a second planchet was introduced then reverse image would be die clashed appearance. This coin must have been partially out of collar when struck to get lip at 7 oclock. Still not making cents!  |

I'm new here... can I get an explaination on how the mint mark is struck twice? I thought they were added after the fact by hand... I have a LOT of research to go before I fully grasp the processes behind how coins are produced... I appreciate any quick education on this. ;-)

You're thinking of die creation, not striking coins.
The MM was hand-punched on the individual dies before 1990.
In this case, the coin was struck more than once with the same die so all devices would be repeated.
It's double-struck, not a doubled die. I hope that helps.

Coin is triple struck. There are two strikes that are in the collar (with rotation). If it is in the collar it can't be extended outside the normal diameter. So the tab, that seems to show an indent, has to be from a third strike.
