If the doubling is flat and shelf like then it is probably Machine Doubling.

In order to help you the whole package needs to be seen. The coin looks to be stained and scratched or is that just the package? It also looks like MD. to me.

All I see is Machine Doubling and a damaged/scratched cent.

Damage to a coin is not a mint error. Post strike damage altered coin.

Machine doubling. Seeing the whole coin, both sides might help.

to the CCF Not seeing any doubling with these pictures. A 69 mint set as stated above should have a P D and an S in it. The damage happened while in the cello pack.

Here are some more pictures.I just now realized why the S is there but I'm still a little confused on the double die vs md Does md make it unique(is it still like a special coin that I should really hold on to) or does it only matter if it's double die?
Thank you all for your help!! I so really appreciate it!!!

MD is unique, but not valuable. It's an artifact of the striking process and totally uncontrollable.

A doubled die is an error made during the manufacture of the die. It is not unique - every coin struck by that die will exhibit the doubling. Except for exceptional cases, it is not valuable either.

What looked like damage on your coin, was just the cello making the coin look like it was damage. Just the cello cause me to think that. Even from that close the big DDO would stand out like a sore thumb. Note the full size image to show what to look for on a DDO:

The doubling you are seeing is doubling from the light.
