This is an 1858 Flying Eagle Cent.
Looks like a seconded wreath to the left of the first one at the 8 o'clock position!
Is this an error, if so what kind of error is it?
Thank you,
Glenn

Maybe part of the planchet was hollow, & when it was struck it pushed in that part of the planchet. When it was pushed in, that part of the coin moved & caused the doubling?
Here's a rim shot of the area & the Obverse.
