Interesting 1979 2 cent double error. The coin has failed to engage fully with the collar die giving the classic ‘railroad wheel rim’ look of the straight partial collar error. Additionally it appears that the coin has actually jammed in the collar die resulting in it being struck multiple times in collar. Apparent from doubling of legends and rim.

Golden / rainbow toned and choice uncirculated.
