Yep, it's the Poorman's Double Die. Almost as famous, and a heck of a lot less expensive.

It is not really a doubled die though, just severe Die Deterioration. Poor Mans DD is just a marketing term and this phenomenon is found on a number of cents from the 50s.

Seek one in BU, it's a fun coin to use as an example for Die Deterioration.
