Based on photos shown, I would say machine doubling and no premium.
I would not say that it matches exactly, but does have some of the markers for DDO-002. I cannot tell if the eye is doubled or not in these photos. As to value, very very little, it is a minor DDO and I know that NGC does not recognize it not sure if PCGS does but do not think so. This is the type of coin that variety hunters like to find but almost nobody pays for.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Strictly a "one-way market" item. I want to sell this to you for a big premium but I would never actually pay a premium to buy one. You are probably wasting your time and eyesight looking for these microscopic "errors" and "varieties".
I agree with @291fifth that it is not worth the effort. Even those BIE die chip things that were big 40 years ago are not worth any more than a few cents in my opinion. Hyped up in the day, super common and not worth your time investing in finding them. A long time ago, I bought a bag of 5,000 wheaties and about 500 Buffs and still have not done anything with them.
This applies to all who post these minor doubled dies here. They may be fun to find but they are worth very little if anything over a normal coin. It's useful to have a record of their existence but that's about it.
I apologize guys. I don't do this to make a quick buck and have zero desire to sell anything I find. I like the hint for something unique and coins have alot of history and they each have their own story and it intrigued me. I enjoy wasting my time looking at these little pieces of history. It's my downtime activity. I I wouldnt mind my collection to have a coin or two my grandchildren can inherit one day and have some monetary value but it's not about money for me guys. I have alot to learn and I just don't quite understand how it's not a DDO. It looks nothing like the machine doubling coins I've found yet. The pictures just dont do itjusticey
John Wexler has a good tutorial on his website about how to differentiate a true hub doubled coin from one that is machine doubled. You can find it here-

Just pick the appropriate category in the leftmost column.
Just based on your pictures, I do not see a DD... I do see minor machine doubling. At least that is what the pictures show. Cheers, RickO
Agreed @ricko

There are some decent cent DDO's for 1962. Here's 1962 DDO-001. Note the extra thickness on the date and separation on the 9 and 6. This one is ANACS MS65 RED, and if I remember correctly, I got around $25 - $30 for it.
