It looks to me like a case of die deterioration doubling.

and FYI It is doubleD die

 

And AFYI, you might find it interesting that this 1944-D cent is made from spent shell casings from the war. It's a slightly different alloy.

 

The correct terminology is Doubled Die.. not Double, big difference!

Quote - "Note that the proper terminology for this occurrence includes the letter 'd' at the end of the first word, hence "doubled die". The term "double die" without the first word ending in 'd' is not proper numismatic terminology." closed quote
