Most times, not always but most...when I have this question asked of me, the coin is a re-processed cent that typically has a doubled look. It seems to occur when the coin is re-plated. Let's see a picture.

I have about 30 rolls of those 43 cents. 10 are S mints. I've never seen a double anything in that mess.

I was right. The coin is a reprocessed coin and the doubling is the result of the bad re-plating job. That is very common on steel cents.
They are called re-processed as a result of a post mint manufacturing process used to clean them up a little and then re-plate them so that they can be sold to people in what appears to be better condition than they really are.

There is no die doubling.

Thanks,
Bill
