1877-CC 10C VF20
 

It is really a shame this one had such a rough life. Not very common. NGC has only graded 9 total.

1957-D  MS66RB

First coin in a VERY long time.
Some very nice NGC photos to go along with it (nice bonus).
I hope all are well.

I purchased this 1903 Indian cent at the ANA convention in August 2003. It is housed in an old, small size ANACS holder conservatively graded MS 63 RB with a full strike and nearly full mint "red". It cost me all of $50.


 
 

@Youngmoola I think it's time for me to make your posts "go grey".  This is goodbye.  Godspeed, my damage collecting friend.

It is possible that his car may have had a tracking device attached to it, thus it is wrong to assume he was not situationally aware and checking to see if he was being followed.

You are correct. I forgot about those darn AirTags. Good additional point! Something we all should also need to start checking when parking at these shows. Do as best you can a check for AirTags on your car. 

It might be easier to find what you ae looking for if you know what to look for rather than guessing.

Show us a non microscope photo of the full obverse and reverse of the coin and we will be better able to answer your question.   From the limited view and terrible quality photos you have provided it looks to be a close AM.

I do not recall the exact terminology, but it happens because of the heat that is generated at the time of the strike.   That creates an air bubble between the zinc core and the copper plating.   There is a better more in-depth explanation that I read once, just don't remember where I read that at.

It would be easier to answer your question with a simple full coin photo of the obv and rev not this terrible microscope shot.     But it looks like some glue or similar substance on the surface, an acetone bath would likely remove the glue.

Welcome to the forum, as you are new you may not be aware that NGC staff are not able to provide guidance on values or grades from photos.   I see no evidence in your photos of any true die doubling, just a bit of minor and worthless strike doubling. The mint struck over 11 million Peace dollars in 1924, these coins are very common and only have high values when in exceptional condition.   Your coin shows clear signs of circulation wear and marks and would not grade higher than AU, well below exceptional condition.   Common Peace dollars in circulated condition like yours get most of their value from the silver content and trade/sell close to the spot price of silver.   So today your coin is worth $30-$35 to most buyers in the coin market, a bit less would be offered by a dealer or silver junk buyer.
It would cost you upwards of $60 to submit your coin for grading and it would still be worth only $30-$35 dollars once you got it back.   Your call but I would not choose to spend twice the value of my coin on grading and certification.

The term "cleaning" refers to nearly any chemical or abrasive process that affects the surface of a coin, even wiping the coin with a cloth. Today's collectors regard "cleaning" as an impairment that makes the coin less desirable and, therefore, less valuable. Coins can be "conserved" using solvents such as acetone that remove surface dirt without affecting the coin's surface and purportedly with processes used by experts.
   A circulated, damaged 1984 cent is worth only face value whether it has been "cleaned" or not.
