You can see the notching on the T & H in the pic (sorry about quality)
It's a 1953 Quarter looks PL

can't really tell, but I'm in the camp that says that once you get to that kind of magnification on the coins you can find just about anything... I don't buy any variation that says I have to see the coin magnified more than 10 times to get an idea of what is going on... JMHO

Looks like a doubled die to me. Neat find.

Well, one thing you'll never find, no matter how much magnification you use, is evidence of hub doubling (doubled die) on a non hub doubled coin. That looks like the typical notching from hub doubling and would be easy to spot with a 10x loupe. Cool find! From what I've seen (or haven't seen), modern Canadian doubled dies are not very common.
