  Looks like triple to me. I am unsure if the obverse 9:00 is an extra strike or not.

  looks like extra lettering on the possible 4th strike and it has an indent on the other site in same position but a little smaller which is a good sign.

  also it was maybe struck through at least 1 other coin. so may have a/some sibling(s) out there.

  Looks like a triple to me. And a nice one at that!

  That does look like the top of a W doesn't it?

  They are more than “okay” in my book! Very nice set!

  I have not collected error coins....except for two blank cent planchets I have received in change and kept. I do find them very interesting though, and great fun to interpret how some of them occurred. Cheers, RickO

  Can't wait to see some really nice ones!! Also, is this coin triple or quadruple struck?

  Another question. What are the odds when a coin has been struck multiple times and you have different profile? Reason I'm asking is if you see Lincoln's head as shown below, one has a die crack and one does not. Is that even possible?
