Those "S" mint cents, from 1968 thru the early 70's,
are notorious for wide ejection/mechanical doubling
that confuses folks for die doubling.....(as well as being very common on all denominations
of modern US coins, as well as world coins.)At the back of the CPG is an Appendix that discusses
the difference between doubled dies and other types

No, the coin on the left is not a doubled die.
Welcome, good pics. The BER in Liberty is the pick up point for me. Easy and quick.

So its not
How about that one?
Sorry I have five 1969 s penny and Im just trying to see if I have a double die
You need the latest Cherrypickers Guide. Available at Amazon or Books A Million. As AUandAG pointed out, the BER in Liberty is the quick reference.
It would be much easier for everyone involved, and especially you, if you learned what the doubled die looked like so you could identify it on your own rather than posting images asking the question. Go to the PCGS CoinFacts page for 1969-S Doubled Die Lincoln Cent and compare the images of the doubled die to your coins in-hand.
Good luck searching.

You can go to CoinFacts and examine a picture of the 1969-S doubled die cent.
But I concur with the rest of the respondents, the coin on the left is not a doubled die.
