Not sure exactly what you are asking. Your nickel looks to be a doubled die reverse.

It was used for currency down in the mines.
In all seriousness, though, it is a subjective distinction. It's a "major" doubled die if it is in high demand. It is perhaps more difficult for a single 1962 5c DDR variety to stand out and generate higher demand when there are so many different varieties for that year with a similar degree of doubling:

Undoubtedly, there are some collectors putting together a complete set of these, but likely not enough to create a large demand for them.
because it has not been given the FS-801 designation (yet)
Calling it a 'minor' DD seems to be a misnomer since a loupe is not needed.
Because it’s ore-dinary!
Was it found in a mine or by a miner or did you mean minor?
Because major doubling is rare to non existent, in the Jefferson series.
Ya that’s what I meant haha minor….
