Not sure what you want to know. The devices on your coin appears a bit altered. During the life time of your coin, they had gumball vending machines, that did damage coins. Most of the time the damage made a mark parallel to the edge of the coin. On the tops of the ST, you can see a little device alteration. There is a doubled die that is interesting that year. But your coin is not one of these. But if you ask a more specific question, I'll share what I know on the subject.

No, it is not doubling but rather flattening of some of the letters due to damage after the coin was struck. This cent is safely spendable.

To CCF! It's not an error at all. It's Post Strike Damage. The devices have flattened, do to circulation wear.
