Hello everyone !,

I know there are double die's and machine doubles etc... But has anyone run across a triple strike?
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?

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:

That is interesting. I think we would need a better close up, that is clearer. The picture sure does look like a triple image to me.

That pic is from the sellers site. I am waiting for my stereo microscope to come in and if it doesn't arrive in the next day or two I will try my cell phone.

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.
