Congrats on your find, looks like damage to me but I'm no expert

Sorry not a double die. Post mint damage

If you're referring to the date, definitely damaged.

Look at the coin rim that is close to the date.
That is damage that extends across the date.
Is that a dug coin?

Sorry, there's not a lot of value in "most" circulated cents. Please check the link above for a reference. Also, you can check for specific coins on eBay to see what they are listing/selling for. Just remember here that listing and selling prices can be worlds apart.

Not a damage date error, it is just damaged, no error. At some point in it's life the coin took a hit causing the damage. As stated not much value, probably two or three cents.
