Hello all!
So I was just going over a box of small cents and came across this beauty double dated 1979. The double 79 is fairly strong and visible to the naked eye. Is this a common error for the '79 cents? Or would this be considered strong? Thanks for all info/comments!!

nice doubling, the 70's were riddled with errors and doubling, I've gone through thousands of pennies and the 79 errors are in great numbers it seems.

The tough one to find is the full double 1979. They are around but I think there are only a handful certified at MS64 or higher.

Scg, I've got I believe half dozen of them, not MS but mostly mid grade with one that is high MS and a thumb print right on the obverse lol.
