First, welcome to the neighborhood @Erik MacMillan !

It looks like machine doubling to me.

So machine doubling don't make it rare?

 

No! Machine doubling is a very common mistake caused by the vibration of a loose die.

Notice how the lesser image has a very flattened appearance due to the machine/die movement. A true doubled die obverse ( DDO) would have the second image higher higher, usually close to the same height. If you are interested, there are several good sources on the net with examples.
