Would this be considered a mechanical strike or a triple die strike? I am still unsure about DD vs. Mech Die strike. Logically if the machine/die strikes a coin more than once its a....? This penny is from one of my 1955 Proof Sets. There is a negative pic that may make it easier to see the tripling. What does everyone think?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/23/2018 8:53 pm The business strike cents are only struck one. The Machine Doubling damaged them after the strike. Note a doubled die. Just machine movement after the strike. Proof coins are struck twice. They can alter the devices after these strikes. Leave what is call flat field doubling: Edited by coop 03/23/2018 8:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 11:05 pm Single strike. Two direction movement of the die after the strike. Machine caused the damage to these devices. A little bit of push doubling: While this type of MD does enlarge the devices a bit, they are not hub doubled. They are pushed aside by the dies after the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
