Hey candice,
you saved me a photo, I got one exactaly the same 3 weeks ago, I kept as, its a common coin, but I liked the doubling effect, and that the other side had a nice clean cut boarder( as none seem too)

2001 is a very common year for this error. Yours is however a decent example and if you dont have one then its definitely worth keeping. If it is one of the state reverses then that is merit enough to keep it. I keep all of those I find due to their low mintages.

It seems to be a case of machine die doubling, which is known to affect the 2001 Federation coins.
It invariably affects the right hand side of the obverse to varying degrees - I keep all I find that match your level of severity.

Some of the 2001 CoF CoA coins have very severe doubling on the reverse as well. I'll see if I can find one and put up a couple images later.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved
