I don't see a whole lot in the letters (been burned too many times by camera/lighting reflections), but that 2022! I see notches.
Your avatar says newbai, so I'm going to take you at your word. Please don't clean this coin. I would recommend you put it in a cardboard or clear flip to protect it. Somewhere down the line, you may want to make a light swab with acetone to see if the organic material on the reverse can be removed. Can we see a picture of the entire obverse?
Would be interesting to hear what some of the experts think. @ctf_error_coins , @FredWeinberg

It does look rather convincing, but I have a feeling that this is extreme die deterioration combined with some light reflection.

Thank y'all for your insights and advise! Appreciate all your input. I will try to get a good picture again and add it here. Have a great day y'all!
Quite possibly some MD with Die Deterioration Doubling being the main culprit.

I'm not an error guy, but I'm bumping this thread as it seems a worthy candidate for discussion beyond common machine doubling. A couple of folks have surmised [extreme] die deterioration doubling. A few others have suggested this coin could be a real doubled die. To me, the yellow looks like notches, the orange like common machine doubling. I just wanted to see if there were any further thoughts.

Looks like a DD to me and not MD, especially on the date. Nice find! Send it in and be the first!
You have to remember - newer coins are minted off of single squeeze dies - not the double squeeze that older coins were produced from creating the intense doubling that you are used to seeing, but instead, distortion of the letters and/or numerals.
An example of single squeeze DD shows no notching, just "fattening" of the letters/numerals........

To whom should I send it so that I can verify if this Nickel is true DD or not?
