What you see is minor Machine Doubling, a worthless type of doubling.  
Even if it was was a true Doubled Die, there would not be enough value to have it graded.

Welcome to the Forum.
So that we can help you better understand value of coins, why did you think it is worth getting graded?    
Unless it is worth a t least $150.00, it does not pay to get send it in. What do you see that we don’t.

Welcome to the forum
 I agree   
A common half dollar worth 50 cents

I agree, damage from the crimping machine when sealing the package.
It must have been too close to the edge when being sealed.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A Capped die or Struck Through Grease would still weigh 5.67g
The fact that it is considerably lighter indicates that it has been acid etched.
 

Welcome to the forum
If you want to clean your coins, the only way without chancing devaluating it is to soak it in acetone.   
This will not attack the surfaces and will clean off any gunk. I usually soak my coins for 24 hrs then rinse with
distilled water and let dry. Do not in any way try rubbing it.

Going by the video, that is a Philadelphia Mint cent. There is no sign of a genuine D MM

Thanks guys,
I stand corrected.

Except for some damage and Grease Filled on the reverse, it looks genuine to me. 
That is the large lettering variety.

As far as your Cent goes, it has a little value over face. Floating roofs are quite common and can occur on any year Lincoln Memorial cent, in fact they are not even recognized by the major grading companies anymore  Keep it as an example if you like though.

Welcome to the Forum.
If a coin is damaged, it doesn't really matter how and you may never know how unless you were there at the time. Damage is damage.
Most times damage makes a coin a cull coin  and is a spender.
