Although I don't see any doubling in your
photo (closer up would be helpful), it is
not the rare Doubled Die '16.
You are probably seeing common mechanical
doubling, which is not an error, and carries no
premium.
The 1916 DDO is pretty obvious even on low grade coins, and even dateless coins.
The 1616 Buffalo nickel is rare in all grades.
The doubling on the date will have to look exactly like the one shown below from coinfacts. Otherwise it's not the DDO

ok that's understandable , so what is that in the 6 and above the 6 in the date
the best thing is that i wait till i get the coin in hand then maybe i can have a better look
thanks all
The only anomaly I see on your coin is the aforementioned planchet defect, possibly a lamination, in STATES. That adds no extra value whatsoever.
I see no doubling in the date on your nickel..... the number may be a little 'fat' due to wear.... Cheers, RickO
no doubling there. if you find the rarer triple struck post it here
do you get a triple struck 1916 nickel? @johnny.
It is possible for any coin to be triple struck
Need pictures of both sides of the suspect coin
double or triple struck is not the same as a "doubled die".
A doubled die has a doubled image on the die used to strike the coin resulting in thousands of identical coins.
A double or triple or quadruple "strike" is due to a single planchet being hit multiple times with a normal die. Such a coin would be unique..and easy to spot.

Probably a die chip. It is definitely NOT the 16/16 variety.
