[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4980435, member: 105098"]The Philadelphia mint changed the obverse die to a wider hendecagon rim late in 1979. Both varieties share the same reverse, which didn't change. it's technically narrow rim and wide rim obverse, the date didn't move neither did anything else. the wide rim was used from 1980. It's a die variety, not an error. It could be possibly argued that them using it early and not holding out for 1980 was an error, that possibility exists. But the possibility also exists they had no option but to roll out the new obverse to continue striking 1979s that year and no error or mistake was made, just a decision. 100% it's a variety.[/QUOTE]
