Hi Brad,
It is not a doubled die. It could be the result of a die clash, a line of bubbles in the plating or perhaps the result of a die gouge. I lean toward the line of "bubbles" in the plating caused by some underlying corrosion between the zinc core and the copper plating.
Thanks,
Bill

As a friend used to say to me many years ago....No world cruise , this time:-)
It is a normal occurrence on the copper-plated zinc cents and as such it adds no value to the coin.
Thanks

Sometimes nothing looks like something. Even Abe looked unhappy this time.  |

Ok, then you will love this one as well. I was searching through many rolls of cents when I discovered abe looking back at me. Not a happy look on his face?  |

He looks like Dick Van Dyke, with a mustache.
I know, I have quite an imagination.

Who's got an imagination? I noticed that Abe is wearing a badge on his left shoulder also.

When I spotted it I looked a second time. The unique thing that if you rotate it, you don't see the face anymore. Just in the upright position with the light at 12:00 is where you can see it.
