The 1968-1972 cents had a lot of machine damage on them. Your coin is an example of this. Note the shape of the '6'. You can see where the devices are narrowed/reduced by die movement after the strike. This is not a doubled die but a non collectable strike alteration. The hub doubled examples are enlarged in size. They are the ones that are collectables. On the 1969-S doubled dies that are the big DDO, they are enlarged a lot and they are few in number. So they are worth a lot of money. The examples like you found are common and not a premium for these. To illustrate the collectable, not the devices on this die. It is not just the date that is affected, but all the devices on the obverse.
Note that even far away you can see that these devices are enlarged.
Compare you coin with these images.In order to be from that die, they need to be a match in doubling. If not, then they are not from that die.
