The doubling on the shield nickel is strike doubling only.
With proper credit (to me by name - Howard Spindel - and to the website), you can use these photos:...
Shield nickel dates were always punched with a 4-digit gang punch, not individual digits.
Double struck in collar. Most likely date is 1872, but can't be sure.
Best I can tell from the photos: Not a DDO. Machine doubling.
Yes, it is a narrow date. No, it is not rare. Not even especially scarce - can be fairly easily found with some persistence.

I am not sure why these would be credited to Google images. Perhaps you found them with a Google image search? The correct attribution is my...
It's a Liberty nickel, not a shield nickel.
Not the same die.
It's a piece of the die crack you can see running through the 1. Not an RPD.
Would be interested in reading your list if you would like to post. Don't have time to watch a 20 minute video.
It's not an 1883/2. The photos are good enough to verify that.
Nice DDO. Best guess at attribution is F-113. S2-1025, 28-O-IV (Fletcher, SNV, CONECA respectively).
It is real. Not worth sending in for grading, though. That would cost more than the coin is worth.
Separate names with a comma.
