I always go through my change looking for wheat pennies and silver coins. I'm not really a big coin collector. I do love old coins. However the other day I found this strange penny from 1980. I compared it to a couple others and tried to look it up but couldn't find any information on this one. I am trying to figure out if this is an error or a double strike. I am thinking of getting this graded. Any information on this will help. Thanks!

To CCF! What you have here is called a Rim Fin.

So is this something worth getting graded? Are these rare is some common thing with coins?

Not worth getting graded. Common on a lot of coins.
I have some Silver Dollars with rim finning.

When a coin has a Rim Fin is it common for the other side to not have a rim at all?
