Welcome to the forum Carl!

Doubling comes in multiple fashions. Not all of them are desirable or carry a premium. It appears your cent has machine or strike doubling. This is caused by the die moving when it contacts the planchet. This does not demand a premium and isn’t classified as a variety. 
 

True die doubling is a variety and carries varying degrees of premium. Some large some menial. I recommend comparing any potential varieties to the following website. This site lists the known and recognized varieties. If you see something on a coin that seems to match, post it on here for confirmation. But this is a great resource to familiarize yourself with.
