This coins surface obverse is double-rimmed. Is there any added value?

Hey carl, I don't see a doubled rim but what it does show is Die deterioration or fatique which causes the ring around the circumference of the die.

Rock is correct, what you're seeing is die fatigue common to dies striking plated Lincoln cents.

Oops. Sorry NEAL....I accidently addressed you as carl. Must have had my mind somewhere else at the time. Please forgive me.
