Help With Proof Lincoln Cent Error

Recently purchased a 1983 S Proof Lincoln Cent graded by PCGS as being PR69RD DCAM. Inspected it and found that it was a mint error as the. However the coin has doubling in "In God We Trust." Normally I've come to know proofs as "mistake free" but am suprised that such strong doubling exists on this coin and that it has already been graded by PCGS with no annotation of such error and if it is a defect that the coin was not penalized for it. Anyone know anything about this error as I have never seen it before. Would it add to the value or does it need to be re certified by PCGS.

Would gladly appreciate any advise or knowledge on the topic. Thank you.
