"Milk Spot Free Guarantee" Some Numismatic History on Multiple Strike Coins and Coin Values A very popular mint error type is the double-strike. It is dramatic in appearance and easily understood. Some of the most valuable mint errors are double-struck coins. Double-strikes are found on the earliest ancient coins all the way up to the modern-day coinage. Because of how coins are made, being “struck” with dies, it’s an error type which will likely always be with us (and that’s a good thing!)As the name would suggest, a double-strike is a coin that is struck “twice.” The double-struck coin typically will be struck correctly on the first strike, but then will be struck again either on-center or off-center. A double-struck coin is one that has just been struck twice, but the number of times a coin can be struck is infinite, and some coins are known with over 100 strikes on them.A multi-strike is a coin with three or more strikes. Multi-strikes can be either on-center or they can be off-center, but in order to qualify as a multi-strike, the coin must have at least three strikes present. It is not uncommon for a coin to be struck four or five or more times, although generally the more strikes a coin has the scarcer it will be.Why do double-strikes occur at all? Usually, it’s because there is something not working correctly with the coin press’ ejection system, and the feeder finger (which is what puts planchets between the dies and ejects them from the die) is not working correctly; it fails to eject the struck coin from between the dies. When this happens, the dies strike the coin a second, third, or more times until either the coin is ejected or a mint employee notices the press is not functioning properly, stops the press, and fixes whatever the issue is.Back before the striking of coins was fully automated, planchets were hand fed into the presses, and if a struck coin was not quickly grabbed by the press worker, the dies might come down a second time and give the coin another strike.There are many variations and combinations of double-strikes, which are too numerous for the purposes of this article. However, one of the most common terms used with double-strikes is the term “uniface,” which means that one side of the strike occurred with another planchet blocking the strike, keeping it from receiving a normal strike on that side. This is less desirable than a coin struck on both sides. A coin which is struck on both sides is termed “die struck both sides.” Double-struck coins that are die struck on both sides are usually worth 25-100% more than uniface coins. Condition rarity and low coin populations may also help to determine over all numismatic valuations as well. History of the Accented Hair Kennedy Half DollarOf the 3,950,762 Proofs that the Philadelphia Mint struck for the first year 1964 Kennedy half dollar, Rick Tomaska (A Guide Book of Franklin & Kennedy Half Dollars, 2018) estimates that only about 100,000 coins are of the Accented Hair variety. According to that author, this brief type was terminated after Jacqueline Kennedy inspected the new half dollars bearing her husband's portrait at the request of Mint personnel. The former First Lady objected to some of the finer hair details and recommended changes, which eventually resulted in the revised Type II design. The easiest way to differentiate between the Type I and Type II designs is to look at the hair strands directly above Kennedy's ear: on the Accented Hair variety two prominent strands in this area form a V shape that is not seen on Type II examples. Additionally, the Type I variety has a weak or broken lower left serif on the letter I in LIBERTY, as well as slight pitting and rounded edges to the shield on the eagle's breast on the reverse. Scarce in an absolute sense, the Type I Accented Hair is particularly challenging to locate in Gem and higher grades due to the prevalence of hairlines and milky spots on surviving examples.
