Well they didn't go in quite the order I meant to send them in. Hmmm
None of them are doubled dies. The 1969-S DDO cent is a rare coin, and not something that you would find casually in your change (let alone multiple examples). If you were searching hundreds of thousands of cents (or better yet, millions), you might have a shot at finding one.
Hard to tell with the glare on your photos but I can’t see any type of doubling.
Could you show a closeup of where you think there might be some type of doubling.
No.
The 1969-S DDO is a very clear doubled die. If you aren’t sure from looking at it then the answer is no. Also, there are only a handful of them known so the odds are probably a few million to one against it.
@ManonGee that's the important question and I hope that you will respond. If you can't something that even looks like doubling, you can be confident there is no doubling.
Compare with variety vista.
Thank you I have a bunch of 1969S and those looked most Doubled Die to me like I said I I m new to coin collecting and I m trying to learn the difference in Doubled Die vs machine doubling or die deterioration doubling d thank you so much for your help
"looked most" is not a phrase that has any meaning when it comes to die varieties. It needs to match EXACTLY. There is no "most".
Welcome to the forum.
Please do yourself a favor and go to PCGS's Coin Facts and Variety Vista when questioning a DDO/DDR. There you will fiind photographs of what you are looking for.
Below is a photo from PCGS that shows none of your coins have anywhere near the requirements for a DDO.
Best of luck.

I'm not seeing any.
If I had a dollar for everyone that has shown me a normal 1969-s cent with the hopes that it was the rare doubled die, I'm sure I could buy a genuine one.

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
When you mention Doubled Die Obverse, why do you show us the reverse? The obverse usually has a portrait and date.
Machine, mechanical or ejection doubling is caused during the coin minting process. Right after the coin is struck, when it is being ejected, a small area on the coin has a 'scraped' area pushing the edge of a letter or device in toward the raised area of the coin.
A doubled die is caused with the hubbing process of the die. Theoretically there could be thousands of identical coins made from that die. Some Doubled Die coins have a very wide separation like the 1955 DDO cent. Hard to notice ones show separated serifs on the corners of letters.
Many issues have many minor DDOs or DDRs. Look at a website like www.varietyvista.com to see if your coin is already discovered and listed.
