I think that Sandon interpreted your first comment to mean original government packaging, I know I did at first until I read your reply.

Welcome to the forum, 100% with greenstang, you have a large date so the weight is normal. Also agree the lettering is not from doubling but from damage that occurred from a couple of perfectly placed hits.

Nice Washies everyone, maybe we can get @Hoghead515 to post some of his too, been awhile since he has been active here.

Welcome to the forum, two things, first always start your own thread instead of adding to an old one, makes it very confusing. Second thanks for providing nice large and cropped images, however, the part you are asking about is out of focus making it difficult to answer your question. Filled mintmarks are very common and they are not worth any type of numismatic premium (except for some very unique situations) to knowledgeable collectors and dealers. If you found some internet or you tube video telling you to look for this you can file that in the closest trash receptacle, the net is full of click bait bogus information on what is valuable in pocket change. That does not mean that you cannot or should not keep it if you like it, just that minor things like this are very seldom worth anything over the face value.

Agree with @Sandon take all the Morgan and silver coins to your local coin dealer to sell, all are worth more than the face value.

Ok one more time to get to a more contemporary series and away from the dprince dreck. The best way to do that is move away from the older seated coinage which he seems to have plenty of dreck to share.

I don't usually post three in a row, but we need to move this thread a bit more forward in an attempt to have more members participate and hopefully see less of the ebay sales dreck that dprince posts

No need for any further analysis, these are not DDO's.

Congrats on the straight grades.

Obvious counterfeit.

Welcome to the forum, first you should post inquiries like this on the newbie or US coin section of this forum, this part of the forum is for questions or issues with the NGC registry, general questions like yours will be seen by more of the members on those sections I recommended. As to your question, the term "unopened rolls" is the biggest goose chase scam in numismatics. The only time I might believe that is if I knew the source myself or saw the dust being blown of the lock box myself right before it was opened. What to do, if you bought this on ebay you can force a return even if the seller states no returns by using a SNAD claim. It's a somewhat Richard move as you are admitting that you already suspected what you would find, but the seller has no choice but to accept a return under that scenario. If you bought it from a different platform than ebay then you will have to contact the seller and see if you can work out a satisfactory solution. You could also chalk it up as a learning experience, what we like to call tuition.

Possibly, but when evaluating coins with this much circulation wear it is almost impossible to distinguish between circulation wear/damage and any minor striking anomalies like a worn die.

Welcome to the forum. I would advise caution in following or listening to the advice of dprince that I have quoted above, he showed up on this forum very recently and has proven to the membership that he knows little to nothing about coins. A telltale sign of how little he knows is that there is no grading term anywhere in existence or used by any knowledgeable collectors or dealers of XF+ While your coin may look "in relatively good condition" most collectors and dealers would consider it worth approximately it's weight in silver as it is a common date and readily available in much better condition than your coin shows in the photos.

Always nice to find silver in the wild.

Why do you think there is something else to do? You have a perfectly normal cent that is just slightly under weight. It may have been an end of strip planchet that is slightly thin. Not a big deal.

I am not Ali, however, proof coins are not varieties and not included into the mint state sets, NGC has separate sets for Lincoln cent proof coinage. Also there is no such coin as a DVB, perhaps you meant VDB? Nor did the mint produce a satin finish proof Lincoln in 1909, those early wheat proof coins are matte finish.

My answer is if you are wanting to sell then most of the time it is a wise idea with gold at its current price levels, it is certainly not required, but it can be helpful in todays digital age to have gold coins authenticated and have quality photos. Both NGC and PCGS offer quality high resolution photos at very reasonable prices. IF you plan to hold the coin for a long time then there is no need to spend those monies on certification, unless you are just curious.

That iridescent blue/purple tone is not an unusual color for a proof from that time period kept in the original mint cello but just not stored well. And that is the kind of color that some collectors will pay up for.

Welcome to the forum, unfortunately your double eagle absolutely looks like it has been cleaned from your photos. That will reduce the value quite significantly, however, it is difficult to know how much. I found only one record of an NGC graded 1858 as cleaned that sold on GC. This auction is quite old so I would think that even a cleaned example would sell for a higher price than this old auction as gold prices have risen since 2013.
