Not a Doubled ear but it does look like a plating blister. Your Cent is zinc and has a thin layer of copper. It's very common for them to blister...
I know its zinc but I was just reading about the Rockwell test mark and then I came across this. It probably is a blister or die chip but included...
My second thought was that. But in my experience Die Scratches are smaller and linear blisters are larger. It's a Copper Plated Zinc Planchet so...
