You should set it down at least long enough to get a clear image. :)

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:  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

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. Quote:

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
