1975 D 1C Multi Struck Question

[dollykm12]

I can understand a coin being double or even triple struck, but how does a coin get be struck this many times? I was looking at the mint mark and noticed a tie. Then i saw them everywhere. On Liberty side, the lines are actually from his jacket. Hopefully pic shows them, but you can see bowties. On the other side as well. If you look at his face, you will see multiple strikes as well. His brow looks like dash marks that lead off the coin. lol. If anyone can clear this up for me, it would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

In my opinion, I do not see any bowties,, at leat not in the photos. it could be imperfections in the planchet itself, making someone believe it looks like something when it simply could be a slightly uneven planchet. Multistruck coins typically do not leave subtle hints, the complete design strikes at the same strength, so one should look for more design elements on the coin.

I will add that the field area ot flat areas on the coin should smash the previous strikes nearly flat, but depending on the location, this means it was loose and potentially rotated. If so, it would have has a chance to be off center, or if rotated in collar show more evidence of those extra strikes, especially if the bow tie is nearly 180 in direction.

I do see the line and this is normal. The lines are referred to as an abraided coin, or in simpler terms, a mint worker uses some sort of tool that is abrasive, to clean up a die that may be clogged wit debris from striking coins. They also will do maintenance on a coin with had a die clash. They remove the dies from the press and polish it U til the die clas in removed, then place the die back in surface.

Since working dies are striking metal coins, some times close to 1 million coins before end of service, over time these scratches or abaided lines will fade away due to wear and tear.
