Hello & Merry Christmas!

I've collected coins since I was a kid, and I came across this coin that I've had for a very long time and I believe it's a wide-rim 1979 SBA. What do you think?
I appreciate your time looking and responding.

And this is definitely the wide rim, scarcer variety! This type is only on the Philadelphia struck coins at that.

Thank you for helping to verify what I think my SBA coin is. I want to ask another question:

Do you think it is also a double strike? On the rim, under the number 1, I see a line and SBA's hair part looks like she has 'halo' or 'second part' above her headline.

Thanks.
