A Triple Struck Cent

No joke folks. It’s not graded but probably should be. An easy to see triple strike 1994 cent. Nice that it has the date.

Double Struck - Maybe a Saddle Strike?
@Fred Weinberg What you say?

 

Only struck once. I think Ed is correct with calling it a Saddle Strike.
Your coin was struck by two dies at the same time with one stroke of the coin press.
Note how both indentations are on the same alignment.
It is nice that it has a date. Most likely struck on a Quad-die machine.

Due to the size of the strike on the left I wouldn’t call that a saddle strike.

 

I see two strikes delivered in succession. Not a saddle strike. The slide zone on the larger strike is too wide, the wrong part of the design is showing on the smaller strike, and the gap between the two strikes is too small.

 

Thank you Mike for the clarification!
