1976-S $1 Silver Eisenhower Dollar -- Flipover Triple Strike and Large Broadstrike -- AU58 PCGS. Type One Reverse. The first strike was normal, but the coin ended up between dies a second time, flipped over relative to the first strike. Since the once-struck coin was wider than a planchet, the collar die was impeded, and the coin was broadstruck. It failed to eject from the dies, and was struck a third time. Since the second and third strikes were both centered broadstrikes, the coin became thinner and wider, reaching 42 mm instead of the statutory 38 mm. Evidence of the first strike is limited to the margins; traces of the date from the first impression are apparent on the reverse between 1 o'clock and 2:30. Doubling in an outward direction is strongest on UNITED and confirms the third strike. The strike is intricate on the central motifs. Lustrous and unmarked with faint golden toning.
