The pictures are too blurry for me to tell, but it looks like it may be the classic. Check out these links:

I can almost make out the notch in the D in GOD. The doubled master die. It's doubling, but very common so it's not collectable. Take better pictures and post here. We wouldn't want you releasing a good doubled specimen if that's indeed what you have there.

Thank you Slamnbass, CoinMaster, Rackster. I didn't even
notice about the "d" in God. The coin appears to have a
dirt spot right above the "d" but I took some more pictures. Hope it's
helpful. I added in another clearer picture of
the "In" and the "we" that might be better than the other
ones I posted earlier.

Thank you CoinMaster. Is that a good thing
I hope?

I went back after reading the other comments
and took some pictures of the Liberty. I took three
different ones I hope are clear enough to see.

Maybe it's just me,but I don't see any doubling. It's not a DDO and not poor man's doubling which is Die Deterioration.
Need better pics. What are you using as a camera?

Thank you guys. John 1 I use my phone camera. It's hard focusing
in though with this camera, or so it seems.

I'm not sure about the doubling on the reverse
but it seemed to me there was more doubling
on the back of the coin than on the front. I
don't know how you all get the arrows on the pictures
that would of been helpful in pointing out what
I was questioning. How do you guys do that?

On the back there were a few things that had me questioning what I thought I may
be seeing . On the "es" in states -in the middle
of the E and the tip of the S.

The bottom of the T the "e" in cents at the bottom edge. The E & N
tip of both, and the E&D bottom corner. Isn't that
doubling?

Many 1972 pennies were made from dies that were made from a master die that was doubled. For these pennies the doubling is inherent, and renders their value minimal. I believe your coin to be one of these - Master Die Doubled.
There are other 1972 pennies that have different doubling from the various dies they were struck with. Depending on their condition, and the die they were struck with, some command very desirable premiums.

Coop is our resident expert here, there are others, but of all, he shares the most time with us. He is also a premier photographer. Here are some pictures he took.

Thank you CoinMaster. So which one would
mine be considered do you think? Also I was
reading about the 1972 last night and about them
having very little value. Do you think mine holds any value if any? I'm kind of confused now with the 1972s :(

You could stand a trip or two to the photography forum. As near as I can tell from your photos and my limited skills, I think it is master die doubling - of which there are many. Supply and demand dictates a low premium. My guess is under five bucks, not bad for a penny, but not enough to give up your day job.
