Can anyone identify this and tell me if it's a variety? - better yet if it's worth anything? I have posted a few pics and the doubling is on all of the letters on the back. Here ths O is doubled: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mitchelliii/4802780708/sizes/l/ Here the letters on top are: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mitchelliii/4802149627/sizes/l/ Here is the C and E. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mitchelliii/4802780166/sizes/l/ Sorry for the bad quality pics!

This is what's known as Machine Doubling which is caused as the coin is being ejected from the press. There is no numismatic premium involved with this type of doubling. Notice how the doubled area's are flat and that there is no clear separation between the letters. Compare that to this true doubled die: or this one: Clear, distinct separation.
