Strike doubling not a DDR.

yes that is a plating bubble under the nose. No not an error.

Damaged, a grease fill would not affect the rim

@Sandon please post any dealer or bullion operation that is selling impaired AU dets quarter eagles for $260, I would love to load up at that price as that would be significantly under spot. The term "a rising tide lifts all boats" is in full effect with the rising spot price, I'm not sure that you could even buy half a coin at $260 today.

Yes and no, currently no because the spot price of gold is at all-time highs coins that have issues or are impaired in some way (like ex jewelry coins) are selling for the same prices as unimpaired coins that grade in the AU range. Your coin would have to grade in MS64 or better to rise above the current spot gold price which today was around $2,162 per ounce. The only real difference is it can be easier to sell an unimpaired coin to a coin collector who may not want such an impaired coin. Most dealers would sell this for spot + 5%, they would buy it at spot - 5%. Yes if, and this is a big if, in the future should the spot price of gold retreat, that is when you could see a difference in value for your ex jewelry coin vs an unimpaired AU coin.

Welcome (back) to collecting coins, without knowing what you actually have it is not possible to fully answer your question on storage. Obviously the more valuable a coin is better storage would be preferable over banging around in a mason jar. On the other hand if what you have is mostly circulated coins from pocket change then at least until you have the time to properly review them your mason jars are likely fine for the time being. I suggest that you purchase the "guide book to United States coins" often referred to as the red book. This has lot of information on each coin the US mint has ever made and will be very helpful to you when you have the time to tackle going thru your mason jars of coins. The valuations in the book are usually not super relevant as the market is fluid and changes often, but it will help you to identify if you have any coins that might have higher values from the rest.

Welcome tot he forum, in the future it is advisable to start your own new thread rather than pull up an old one, it can get confusing. If you want to reference the old thread that you feel is relevant you can always provide a link to the old thread in your new one. Your 1884-O Morgan dollar is heavily worn, so well-worn that it is impossible to say if the mintmark was filled at one time or it came to have this look due to the smoothing of the coin from its extensive time in circulation.

Your coin appears to have significant die deterioration, the anomaly you see is related to that and not an RPM.

Its worth the face value of 1 cent. In 2009 the mint produced four versions of the Lincoln cent to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Lincoln cent which was first produced in 1909. Each design was meant to portray a portion of Lincon's life, the design you have is called The Professional Life.

Looks like a damaged coin, worth less than 25 cents. Welcome to the forum.

You can read Kurt's short and colorful reason he is no longer a national volunteer for yourself.

Would you be expecting a balanced nonbiased account of the meeting from the recently ousted Kurt.

From your opening post it seemed like you were in attendance. I am not there and haven't seem or heard any of the meeting. Hopefully someone can add more to the story.

So that's all we get, a teaser and a comment with no refrence to context or content?

There isn't any such thing as "toning error", just simple exposure to the elements.

The only thing it could be is a strike through, but from your photos it looks more like a scratch to me.

Impossible to answer without knowing what you mean by "box". Can you post a photo of not of these sets/boxes?

Your question is not clear, do you want to put your coins into and participate in the NGC registry? Is that what you mean by registering? If this not what you're asking for then I have no clue what you are asking about. If you wish to participate in the NGC registry then yes you will have no choice but to spend a considerable amount of money and submit your coins to NGC for grading, there is no way around this. I would strongly suggest that you do some serious research into the value of your coins as they are and what they would be worth as an NGC certified coin. You might find that it is financially unreasonable to have all your coin graded.

The coin has been counterstamped, likely by someone named Jesse. Not an error just damaged but still worth 25 cents.

I see only worthless minor strike doubling.

Damaged, likely caught in a dryer, not an error and only worth one cent.

Your decision to crack these out seems not a good one from your photos. Granted photos don't always tell the full story, but just from photos I see your chances of anything over PF67 as remote. In hand I might have a different opinion. You would have been better off submitting to PCGS for crossover at the current grade or perhaps one grade less. NGC doesn't offer the crossover option except for PCGS graded coins. I am unclear what motivated you to crack these from the PCI holders, but my opinion is you just lost a lot of value. In the future if you want a coin in NGC or PCGS plastic is is better to buy the coin already in that plastic unless you are an expert grader.

May have been caught in a coin counting machine, or some other type of machinery, did not leave the mint in that condition thus PMD.

If you decide to waste your money on submitting your coin please do come back and let us know how you feel about the depth of knowledge you have already received from the members here when you get your results. In case it's not clear to you, I also see a reprocessed (plated) coin.

I personally have no desire for this option, of the bakers dozen sets I have on the PCGS registry which does have this option I've only received one comment over the past 20ish years. I guess my sets are not that interesting to others, so comments are not really that important to me. Plus, I really don't want a bunch of unsolicited offers to buy my coins, I have had that happen in the past on another website. On the one hand it is somewhat flattering to see that someone likes your coins, but at the same time its somewhat a pain having to turn them down. Just my thoughts on it.
