    The mintage was 6,767,496 according to Krause, Charlton lists the mintage as 5,816,176 with a note that 141,741 were melted.

    The mint employees had a lot of fun late night with these Centennial Dollars. There are a number of "varieties" made, the best known is probably the "diving goose" variety. I have seen images of double and triple struck goose dollars before, yours is a nice one!

    I've never read of an estimate on the number of 1967 dollars that were played with.

    Hi Gary I saw that, but it is only double struck, this coin, my coin has three, so I was wondering if anyone knew about it. I also when through the archives and did not fins a triple strike at auction at least Heritage. The surfaces are very proof like and the marks are on the Anacs holder which reads "double struck"

    I am looking for any info on the triple struck ones...

    When in doubt, don't.

    I must be blind. I can see the double strike, but not the the third. ???

    There are 3 'II's on the obverse and 3 dates on the reverse. Looks like a triple to me...
    Very cool! image

    There we go. The 3 IIs make it. I dismissed the multiple dates because the design has a date range 1867-1967, so differentiating the start and end dates in the multiples got too confusing.

    Two strikes. You are seeing ELIZABETH II H II as the "three II's."

    Looks like there's doubling all over one of the strikes. I still think there's 3 strikes. Send it in!

    TD is right about the "H", I can see the cross beam in the second "II", but there is something else going on here different than the others I have seen which is not that many. The Heritage Archives have only 5 or so and one current. My coin look like a much more dramatic rotation on the the second strike than any I have seen.


    Who do I send it to PCGS?

    How do folks know the populations on these if they are Mint errors and thus no Pop reports exist?

    I think you are correct, there's a lot going on with that coin and probably better to see it in hand before a proper call can be made. What I'm seeing is doubling on one of the strikes plus of course a second rotated strike. I might be wrong but it looks much more dramatic than the one Dennis posted.
    PCGS of course, or NGC for the submission.
    Good Luck and Merry Christmas!
