MD and circulation damage. Did you check all three reference sites for an attribution number?

The big DDO has a alot of spread on the devices:

Note the spread is forming two sets of images. On your coin there is the push of a normal device. Machine Doubling was common on the 1968-1972 cents. Note on the image the double set of raised devices? On your coin there is only one set, and they are pushed leaving a smeared look on Liberty.
Note the motto also, there are two sets of devices. So there was a wider spread on this doubled die.

Your coin is a normal die strike, but has Machine Doubling. Thye '9' on the date is a circulation flattening issue:

Note the real deal is showing spread on the devices. Even on the doubled dies, you can see Machine Doubling altering the date devices:

Note the yellow arrows? That is where the design devices were altered after the strike. Note the affected areas are showing a flat affect on these devices. On the real DDO, the affected areas are raised, not flattened. Hope this helps.
