Nice coin! To me that looks similar to Strike Doubling. Is it a double die?

It's a beauty. Very nice high grade example of the 62 DD variety. Great buy.

I just submitted my 1962 nickel to Anacs and put in the notes double die, I hope mine is verified.
If it is, I'll post it.

I received my 1962 Canadian nickel back from ANACS on Friday. They did not give me the double date recognition on the holder.
I did get a grade of MS66 !
The coin does have the doubling of the date.
I will be going to a show in Denver in early October and show them that PCGS recognizes the variety
I was able to get them to change a War Nickel to show No Chrome on the label, so am hopeful, they will give me the double date label
To be continued

With the coin in hand the tell tail sign is study the dentils on the outside edge. They should look like stacked beads, not to the side but in length. It will be cut in half on hopefully half the coin. looks like a nice doubled die. You can see were the coin shrinks toward the center of the coin from thermal expansion and contraction.

Although I only collect 19th century Canadian large cents, that doubling looks to me like machine/mechanical or Die Deterioration Doubling and has nothing to do with the die being doubled. You can read about and see them on this site from Wexler, maybe the TOP variety/error authority:
