BrokaToe Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 4:22 pm WOW that's quite interesting. Is tripling something common amongst error varieties. I believe this is the first example of tripling I've seen. Maybe I just don't get into error varieties enough. Report this Post to the Staff
Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 4:40 pm machine or Strike Doubling are very very common...... this is the first tripled double I have seen or found and don't believe there would be any added value...... I will keep it for my cool box of junk...... Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/05/2011 6:54 pm They are only struck once. The dies when loose can bounce at will during a normal strike, thus damaging the coin. A discussion point, but in relality is it just a damage coin. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 06/06/2011 09:35 am Machine doubling, tripling, and quadrupling do occur, as your specimen shows. It's undoubtedly due to a vibrating die, die assembly, or press frame. One strike was involved. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 06/06/2011 10:27 am I was not trying to imply with this post anything different than what it is..... A coin that I find fascinating due to doubling of the strike.......I apologise if the pun on words in the topic that was not received in fun way..... I wanted to share with everybody something I found in circulation that I have never seen before and find unique...... Does someone have an image of a coin with quadruple doubling that they are willing to share ? I'm keeping the coin I found as a specimen of tripling.....

Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 06/06/2011 1:23 pm Nice coin WildBill, I'd keep it too. No need to apologise, I don't think anybody is upset. Some are just more serious than others to make sure the right answer is posted...that's a good thing. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/06/2011 1:33 pm I saved junk for a long time even in 2 X 2's. Now I wonder why I wasted a nickel for the 2 X 2 for a cent that is worth a cent and never be worth more than that? I guess you get smarter with advancing knowledge in coin collecting.
