Just wanted to make sure this was a coin with doubling and not a doubled die before I threw it back in the bucket.
This coin just looks like a normal cent to me. If you are talking about where the zinc is showing thru around the edges of the letters then this is fairely common splitting of the copper plating.
I've found a few like this, and I agree, It's nothing of high value or rarity. However, good lookin! :thumb: Just curious, what are you using to take pictures??
Honestly with pictures like that I am not sure how you can get responses..no offense guys but the picture is not great (i,e, looks like the OP hands were shaking while taking the picture) and to honestly answer his question he needs to provide better pictures also what year is it?
Click the picture and you will get the larger version Hands definitely were not shaking. If you click the picture then cancel the crappy picture that pops up then your computer like mine automatically gives you a larger version and you can tell that the color is on parts of the penny that have been doubled which gives the illusion most likely for why it looks like my hands were shaking but trust me they are not look at the top of the S and the T you can really see good in the S where the same S line that forms the S has the patina that copper gets just on the doubled part of each letter. Hope this explanation helps.
There is camera shake which is what makes the pic blurry (enlarged or not). If you're asking about the silvery bits above the letter, that is just the zinc showing through. This isn't a doubled die.
