Ok... I see a coin struck at least two to three times and broadstruck! What am I missing here? What do you see? Why do I see many strikes and should it be on the label?:confused:

I only see evidence of one strike. The plating simply split due to tensile forces generated by the strike. This is sometimes called "split-line doubling".
