I found this..this is a double die right? And is it worth submitting?

If you are referring to the Date & MM, that is DDD (Die Deterioration Doubling) caused when the die starts to wear out from too many strikes.

The ONE CENT looks like minor MD

And the columns on the reverse..they are doubled arent they?

Sorry to take so long to reply, just noticed your question.

I think what your seeing is not Doubling, that is part of the design  known as extra or false columns. You don't see them on all coins as they are easily worn or polished off due to being so shallow. The idea is that they are supposed to give the appearance of the second row of columns in the Lincoln Memorial.

This picture from PCGS shows that there are actually four of them

Wow, Thanks Greenstang, that's something I never knew before.  Life is good, I have learned something new today.
