Well......that's quite a blurry photo.  It's really hard to see anything.  If you could get a clearer photo, we may be able to help you.

The second pic doesn't look at all like a 72 double die. The real thing is so clear that even a less than sharp photo would show it.

Variety Vista lists 10 doubled die obverses for the 1972 cent. Yours is not the well known one, but the pics are not clear enough to determine if it might be one of the minor ones. If it happens to be one of the very minor ones,  it probably would not bring much of a premium. Given  pictures, you should be able to compare your coin and determine if it is a match to one of the known examples. So...

Thanks for the clearer photo. Sadly, I agree with Bob and JKK....your coin is definitely not the big money 1972 DDO.  However, as Bob said, there are many minor DDO's as well that may be present on your coin.  If you're interested from a collecting standpoint, it'd be worth it to check for them but most of them don't bring much money as they are very minor and harder to see.
