    I dont see the "E pluribus unum". I used a magnifying glass and even tried reflecting the light off the coin but nothing. Also, I can see doubles behind the word "states" and "america". Is there any known errors like this for this date?

    Right between the words "united" and "OF" there seem to be an "E"

    So the E Pluribus Unum was only placed on the 1883 Liberty Nickel for part of the 1883 run (known as without cents). What happened was there was too much confusion. Some people started plating them with gold and using them as $5 gold pieces so they replaced E Pluribus Unum with Cents. The 1883 that have Cents are known as "with cents". Your nickel is a standard 1910, still a cool coin though :)

    Again my camera fails me to show the letters. It really does look like a double print. Sigh.

    As far as the doubling, it is probably either die deterioration doubling (highly common, when the die gets worn down, it looks like it is doubled) or it is just post mint damage from being so old and beat up.
