Also IMHO manufactured for profit as Error Collecting was getting a lot of buzz in the 60's.

UUUUMMMMM HEADS!!
The reverse hub style (small FG) is pre-1973. The obverse hub style (IGWT close to rim) looks like a 1968, but could be a year or two earlier.
Definitely had help getting struck, but in the Mint so that makes it "genuine."

The first normal strike is genuine,
and the other two are Counterfeit.
These are from the mid to late '60's.

Fred Weinberg: It's a Counterfeit Triple Strike - The first normal strike is genuine, and the other two are Counterfeit.

"Keep in mind that most of what passes as numismatic information is no more than tested opinion at best, and marketing blather at worst. However, I try to choose my words carefully, since I know that you guys are always watching." - Joe O'Connor
That coin, and others that are in the older ANACS
holders, are counterfeits -
I am 1,000% sure of this - I know these counterfeits,
and have seen them and studied them for over 40 years.
These are the type of D/S that were pictured in the
Spadone book on Errors - a horrible reference book,
but one of the earlier ones on Mint Errors......

from the Chinese sources, and I've
seen the Coin World display that
has some dramatic, but just-made,
Large Cent "major errors"
These Lincolns, mostly dated 1963/64/65,
are from that era, and are not recent counterfeits.....
(these NG D/S's are on other dates too)

...........fred is gonna get the nick-name 'rain man' for raining on that guys parade..
<< <i>I will defer to Fred on this one. I did not want to challenge ANACS without seeing the coin in person, as they seemingly did. The prooflike fields of the off-center strikes made me think it was one of the "Dr. Berry" era errors deliberately made at the San Francisco Mint and smuggled out in the oil pan of a forklift truck.

CaptHenway, I'm not seeing any PL / Prooflike fields on this business strike example based on the sellers images

I concur... Fred is 1000+ correct.. Plain and simple.. Have you ever seen a error like this perfectly matched with angled hits.. Almost impossible..
Futhermore, I just can't see the die or the coin moving that coin at the perfect angle while being struck.. That is one reason a real novice could heed caution right away..
Anacs speaks for itself.. Hell, I had 3 cool 8 reales dollars with off center strikes that were swooped from the depths of the sea and Anacs couldn't deemed them authentic.. So that was the last time I wasted time and money on that slabbing company..

Look at the closeup of the genuine reverse with the two fake obverse strikes that has the dark grey background. Don't those obverse fields look rather shiny?

<< <i>It may be counterfeit but it sure seems like a cool collectible counterfeit. I wonder if there is a way to get ANACS to re-purchase this and remove it from the slab? >>
..........good point, ben. and certainly worth pursuing.
<< <i>Look at the closeup of the genuine reverse with the two fake obverse strikes that has the dark grey background. Don't those obverse fields look rather shiny? >>
Looks like it's just light bounce as the other two strikes are concave.
Anyhow I called it as a manufactured error on April 30th
Now that it's been pointed out, the two fake obverse strikes are not right. It looks like it was struck without a collar.
It's well done if it's fake and I'm not good enough to be 100% sure but I would not assume it's real.
of the Lincoln penney and the 200 Ann of his birth. Well done
