Pic not good enough to tell for sure, but Machine Doubling is common on this year. It doesn't look like a real doubled die. Here is an example of Machine Doubling:

BTW, the correct term for a doubled die (which your coin is not) is a VARIETY not an error.

Thad, your cent looks more like a deteriorated die since it "doubles" outward towards the rims.

Yep, Die Deterioration.

I thought they were errors, as the mint did not intend to make the errors, and collectors just classify them as varieties.

I see the Machine Doubling example but my d looks like another d had been stamped on top. I'll try to get a better pic.

No premium. I just see a cent struck by a deteriorated die, and damaged.

It looks like the copper plate is lifting due to zinc rot forming below in and around the entire coin because of the rim damage, causing everything around the edges to look doubled as it seperates. Its just my opinion

Just face value. As you start to pour over thousands of cents you'll begin to see trends. With the Zincoln cents, there are many things going on with the devices that have doubling appearances. As noted above by our colleagues, Die Deterioration and zinc rot at select spots are about your specimen.

Common issues with Zincolns of the '80s and early '90s.

Zinc rot (hydrozincite) at various spots on the coin, but most notably where there are hard corners (vertices) where the copper plate is stretched so thin that it splits exposing the zinc to he elements.
Over use of die sets leading to circumferential splitting of the plating and raised relief towards the rim and ghost like images adjacent to devices, especially the date (as is with your specimen)
Uneven toning of surfaces - especially those left in the cup holders of cars to get corroded by soda, coffee, anything that spills.

But keep asking questions here - lots of folks willing to help out if they can. Good luck on your hunts!
