This type of doubling is mechanical, or caused by he striking process, not the hubbing process which would denote a true doubled die. Usually it is caused by loose or mis-adjusted dies casing the coin blank or die to move during the strike. This is actually very common Darrell, and offers no premium on the coins value.

There should be more doubling like that on the reverse also. But not all MD coins show it on both sides. I set the strong ones aside for educational purposes, but they are only worth face value to a collector of varieties.

Cataloguers of coins other than cents dont seem to differentiate between hub doubling and strike doubling. Morgan Dollars are a good example of this. The only purpose is to identify the die combinations. Not to mention the instances of hub doubling on other denominations is rare.
