Does the (what appears to be) doubling around the face add any value? I did not see any other examples of this. Year and reverse don’t matter for this question, IMO. seller’s pic
This is referred to as a "double profile" or a "chatter strike". They are quite common on US Large Cents of 1831-1835. Samples below.
I suppose it would depend on the collector as to whether that would command any premium or not. It's neat-looking, I'll say that much. I expect the EAC specialist community would know more about the variety if you showed the date. Light marks notwithstanding, it is a decent looking type coin, even aside from that feature.
It appears to be extreme MD around the face,some collectors will some pay premiums for good examples on coins this old.They don't occur as often as you see on coins today.
It's a strong example of what's called a double profile. It's a form of machine doubling. At one time, double profile coins were given different variety numbers, but I don't think anyone does that any more. They are considered desirable by some; to others they are just something that happens sometimes and neither adds nor detracts value.

I've been collecting large cents for a long time and I never came across one. I'll have to look for one. Looks neat. I saw a bust half like that. I wonder if it has something to do with them transitioning to a steam press.
