That is Machine Doubling, a worthless type of Doubling.
In the future, please include complete photos of both sides of the coin.

the shelf-like appearance reveals that to be Machine Doubling, something quite common, but keep looking and eventually you'll find a coin from a doubled die

Nice example of machine doubling--classic. Save it as a future reference piece.

1. A doubled die has the spread on the die. Machine Doubling is from the looseness of the machine.
2. A doubled die will have spread on the centers of the devices making them larger. Machine Doubling is a reduction/removal of the contour of the devices.
3. Machine Doubling can also alter doubled dies as well because it is a machine issue. It doesn't remove the doubled die, but alters it and most collectors will not choose the MD and DD both on a coin, as it is a distraction.

I actually buy and pay lots of money for cents with md and a lot of others are starting to collect md, so I would say not worthless, keep and place in flip
