I have recently come across this Canadian nickel that is terribly beautifully deformed and I'm not sure if it is legitimate or not so any help would be greatly appreciated
Sorry what you have there is what we call Post Mint Damage PMD. That coin looks like it was whacked by a hammer with a washer on one side and whatever on the other side.
