Sorry but it's not possible for multiple strikes to happen in the way you are describing...if it was,then tell me why the rim is not damaged?

I don't have an answer for you on that ... but if the coin isn't struck those ways than why does it look that way?

It is as clear as day in the first picture that the image of Ike is repeated 3 time on this coin in the ways that I have shown ... I dont know enough about coins to explain what it is that I'm looking at, but I do know that what I'm looking at is there.

We will need pics of the full coin obverse and reverse, but what I can see is a palm print on the coin and a die crack running from the bottom of the head to the edge

Something has contaminated the coin/plastic. It actually looks like big fingerprints. The coin rotating inside the plastic allowed whatever is on the coin/plastic to leave multiple similar marks in different positions.
I would suggest removing the coin and giving it a long soak in acetone.

Will removing the coin and soaking it in acetone lower its value?

Proper pics of the whole coin are required.

I am not seeing that at all, in fact I see nothing out of the ordinary. It is unlikely that it is in the original mint packaging with all the hand/fingerprints on the coin. How about a picture of the full coin showing the packaging?

Based on what I can see, I'm skeptical.

I once fell victim to this phenomenon. It is the plastic that contains the "impression" not the coin. I would not recommend trying to clean the coin, but that is just my opinion.

The best course of action here is for you to take the coin out of it's plastic holder and then post a full picture of the coin for us to see.

Interesting but each "strike" would have affected the previous strike and the rim as mentioned.
Try rotating the coin in the plastic to see if the "doubling" moves. These have fooled me before.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

That's a good suggestion.

If the observations are true, then removing the coin from the packaging will not devalue the coin at all. Posting photos of the coin outside the packaging--showing the observed errors clearly--would electrify this topic for sure.
How would you assess the apparent toning? Thanks.
