Definition: “A fin is a thin flange that extends vertically from the rim/edge junction of a coin struck within the collar. It is caused by excessive striking pressure or a localized increase in striking pressure caused by slight die tilt. The extra pressure causes coin metal to squeeze into the narrow gap between die neck and collar. Fins can develop on either face or both faces simultaneously. A fin may encircle a coin or may be restricted to one pole. The latter is the kind typically produced by die tilt"
Broadstrike error causing 6-9° off center!
This penny has a fin rim on the right hand side obverse of the coin, shown on the second picture.
You can see a good comparison of the last photo where a normal 1979 lays overtop.
These errors are RARE and the coin is in great shape
