How do you tell double dated from single dated 1962 Canadian nickels?

It's best to use a magnifier. The second "1962" appears as a kind of shadow, with each digit slightly below its full counterpart. The shadows are about 1/3 of the width of the full digits.
Many closeups are available online. An image search for 1962 double date Canadian nickel will turn up thousands of pictures.
