Hello everyone let me start by saying I am new to coin collecting and I am trying to learn what to look for when it comes to key date and error coins. I recently heard about the 1969 s cent double die and found this when I checked my 69 s coins. It is pretty faint but it only appears on one of the 3 69-s' I have. It appears to be slight doubling around the 96 in the date. Sorry if the picture isn't the best I took it with my phone. I would appreciate any insight into this. Is it something substantial or just a common occurrence?

That is one with the common machine damage on the devices.Here is what you are looking for on the big DDO for this year.

Yours is not the DDO. The 1968-1972 cents had a lot of MD on them. The classic reduced size of the devices are the give away. Take another look at the example I posted. That will help you in your search.

Yes, I agree that this is just machine damage.

It's good that you know what to look for, though- keep your eyes out for varieties like this and it could really pay off.
