Looks like the silver color you are seeing is the Zinc that the coin is made from. The copper coating is not all that good. This is maybe what makes the reverse looked doubled.Does the obverse show any Zinc ? I bet it does !!

The plating sometimes is split during the strike, but on you coin the raised die crack have worn the plating of the coin from other coin contact. The 1991 no mint mark means it was struck in Philadelphia on cents. Slight struck through error on the last digit on the date. (minor) |

It appears the strike through is at a 90 degree. Obverse and reverse should match vertically when flipped over.

There is no way of knowing that there is a 90 degree rotation error by the provided images.
