    The "doubling" I'm asking about is in these last two photos. Mostly above the O in One and some on the N in One as well. If it isn't, what is it if anyone might want to let me know. Thanks in advance

 with John1. You also have a crack that runs from the upper left of the Memorial to the rim. That adds no extra value to your cent as that is common on a lot of zinc cents.

TBH, I don't think it's any of the above. It looks like the die was hubbed more than once.

NM, ahhhh, of course the die was "hubbed more than one". That is how they are produced, by multiple hubbings. But this is not a rotated hub effect nor is it a product of different size hubs. It is as Coop stated. How I know? Look at the left vertical of the N in ONE, it is thin, that is a product of the shallowness of the device from the field being polished.

I meant by more than one hub... I have a couple of these... Which doesn't mean much, really... I had a wife once.

I had to find mine.. Definitely not a polishing issue. Hub or die. EDIT: I just re-read that... That wasn't a threat
