Shope Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:28:50 +0000 http://www.coinlink.com/CoinGuide/errors/double-and-triple-struck-coins/#comment-694 I recently acquired an interesting triple struck flipover & rotated 20 degrees 1961-D Lincoln Cent and would like your opinion on it. http://img412.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1961bothhy9.jpg Here's what I believe is the striking order: First strike - Faint Bust of Lincoln on Reverse and faint Memorial on Obverse. Second Strike - Faintest Bust of Lincoln on Obverse and faintest Memorial on Reverse. Third Strike - Bold Bust of Lincoln on Obverse and Bold Memorial on Reverse. I will be sending it to ANACS to have it authenticated and graded but I would appreciate your opinion on it, since there has been one person who believes it isn't authentic and has said he believes it was struck by false dies composed of a relatively soft metal but I don't see that. All the fainter strikes appear to be "under" the stronger strikes and not the other way around.

Here’s what I believe is the striking order:

First strike – Faint Bust of Lincoln on Reverse and faint Memorial on Obverse.

Second Strike – Faintest Bust of Lincoln on Obverse and faintest Memorial on Reverse.

Third Strike – Bold Bust of Lincoln on Obverse and Bold Memorial on Reverse.
