*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***My visit to the coin shop today, I picked up this lovely Lincoln. When researching double struck..they don't all look like this, would this be double struck outside the collar?   Edited by Rabbithole1

Hello! Nice coin. Yes, the first strike was a normal strike in the collar. The coin was then struck by an obverse die a second time. The second strike is Uniface, because another coin was being struck and kept the reverse die from striking your coin. It shows a Counter Brockage on the reverse in the area of the second strike. The second strike was outside the collar. I have a sort of 1981 "twin" to your coin. It was just turned differently when struck the second time. (I like yours better!) Edit: Added info. to make things clearer.   ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

WOW GrapeCollects! THATS AWESOME!! I would assume out of the collar is more common than one like yours...or are the chances the same?

@Rabbithole1,
In collar double strikes are signifigantly rarer than the out of collar type, so my example is the scarcer of the two.

Thank you Errors! Grapecollects, that's a really amazing find! So yours would have jumped up and rotated in the chamber?

@Rabbithole1, kinda. It would have been fed into the chamber normally and struck normally. Though this is where it gets wierd. It would have, for a moment, stuck to the hammer die instead of being ejected, and for whatever reason a new planchet did not get fed into the chamber. The coin then fell of the hammer die, and was struck again 90° rotated. Had it really stuck to the die it would have become a die cap, but because it fell and was restruck without another planchet in the chamber, it came out as double struck in collar. That is due to the fact the collar deployed because it "thought" the already struck coin was a planchet. So a lot of factors.
