No question that it is doubled, the question is what kind of doubling. As I understand it (possibly incorrectly, but I try) the kind of doubling that is collectible is die doubling. Other kinds that are encountered are machine doubling (MD) and die deterioration doubling (DDD). I think you will get some opinions here. I THINK this is MD.

I think it is MD as well.

 

I would say MD.

 

IMO it appears to be a plating blister not Doubling but what do I no. Lol

Plating issue.. Not a Doubled Die Variety

 

Either plating issue, which I doubt, or Die deterioration doubling. Not MD

 

Is this a Zincoln? zinc based cent. If so I think a plating issue.
If it's a copper cent, then MD
would be my guess(es).

 

That looks like a zinc cent to me (...they just have that "look" to them...), so I would say that it is DDD, not MD.
