Can someone tell me if this is an error on the coin or just a typical occurrence? Thanks.

Not

Mechanical Doubling - which happens when the planchet shifts a tiny bit as it's being struck. The shelf-like appearance is the give-away.

@biz, can you please add the date and mint of this cent to the thread title? This helps with the CCF search functionality. Thx.

Minor Machine Doubling, no added value.

That is a good example of Machine Doubling. 2x2 worthy for reference purposes.
I agree. An educational find.
