| Triple Strike |
The image to the left is an example of a
Lincoln Cent that has been triple struck.
In the normal process of striking coins, a
blank planchet is struck once by the dies,
then ejected. If a coin is not ejected properly
it can be struck again. Coins can also be
struck multiple times. Furthermore, multiple
strikes can also happen both inside and
outside the collar.
