On the 1968 cents on the obverse it is very common to see the edges of the letters touching the rim. You can see a Cent like that and know before you see the date on this year's Cents. The 1968/69 were notorious for Strike Doubling. But from the size of the images I don't see anything out of the ordinary for you coin. The T on LIBERTY looks strike doubled. The mark on the neck looks like Strike Doubling or over cleaning in that area. But nothing really stands out to me for it being a DDO.
Here are a few examples of what to watch for when searching for doubled dies.

Short answer: Machine Doubling.
