Among knowledgeable collectors, no.

This appears to be a planchet lamination that partly peeled after the coin was struck, causing the "L" and "I" to appear to be at angles. See https://www.error-ref.com/?s=lamination.

Welcome to the NGC chat board. Please understand that the pieces struck in the United States dated 1944-45 for the Philippines are very common and unlikely to be worth much above any silver value (ten centavos and above) for pieces with any amount of circulation wear, with the exception of a few repunched mintmark and overmintmark varieties. It's unlikely that any pieces would achieve "Gem" uncirculated grades (65 or above) unless they have been carefully and separately handled, which these pieces do not appear to have been. This is also true for many of the pre-war issues, with worn pieces having little value. However, there are exceptions for certain dates, mints, and varieties. You can look up retail list values in a variety of grades and any silver value for these coins on the NGC World Coin Price Guide, World Coin Price Guide and Values | NGC (ngccoin.com), which can also be found through the "Resources" tab on the NGC home page. Use the "Search by Criteria" option, select "Philippines" under "Category", "All Regions" under "Region", and enter the denomination and date. (The catalog numbers are unnecessary.) If this results in more than one option, select the most pertinent one. For example, here are the search results for the 1945-D ten centavos: Philippines 10 Centavos KM 181 Prices & Values | NGC (ngccoin.com). Note that this result also reveals values for other dates, mints and varieties. A Guide Book of United States Coins, commonly known as the "Redbook" also lists Philippines coins struck under U.S. sovereignty from 1903-1945 (pp. 434-38 of 2023 edition). The current edition is dated 2024, and the 2025 edition should be available in April. It is available from its publisher at whitman.com or through larger booksellers or coin shops. If you have any interest in U.S. coins, it provides an overview and basic guide.

@edhalbrook--The 1892-S can only be considered scarce in AU condition and rare in uncirculated grades, although it commands a significant premium in grades of Very Fine or higher. It is not at all difficult to find in low grades like this. NGC and PCGS don't give numerical grades to impaired coins, so it would be graded no better than Very Good details. It is clearly "cleaned" and damaged and looks barely Very Good to me. It might only be graded "Good details" at NGC or PCGS. I would estimate the retail value at no more than $35.

The obverse of this 1989-P dime was struck from a worn die, as indicated by the softness of Roosevelt's hair, while the reverse, apparently struck from a newer die, is still fairly sharp. The raised areas on the obverse that you point out are likely also due to die wear, which caused portions of the die to sink or subside. See https://www.error-ref.com/?s=die+subsidence Coins struck from worn dies generally aren't considered to be desirable by most collectors. This is not a "cud", which results from an area broken from the die. See https://www.error-ref.com/cuds/.

1947 Walking Liberty half dollar, PCGS graded MS 63 in old green label holder and perhaps undergraded by today's standards:

Welcome to the NGC chat board. The "Coin Marketplace" forum is for offering to buy or sell coins, not for questions about coins. Your topic would receive better attention if posted in either of the "Newbie Coin Collecting Questions" or "U.S., World, and Ancient Coins" forums. I'm not familiar with this coin, but it has clearly been "cleaned" or polished, which would reduce whatever value it would otherwise have had.

That is correct. Sometimes I get tired, too.

1938 proof Lincoln cent, NGC graded PF 65 RD. These can be difficult to photograph:

Hopefully, you were unable to find a listing for any 1969 (P) half dollar, as all 1969 dated circulation strike half dollars were coined at the Denver mint and have a "D" mintmark, and all proofs at San Francisco with an "S" mintmark.

The nature of the seller and the asking price may also have been clues that the coin was likely fake. High grade U.S. coins of this vintage are usually sold at public auction by major numismatic auction houses or by larger dealers who are likely members of the Professional Numismatists Guild (the PNG, pngdealers.org). A 1795 Draped Bust dollar lists $50,000 or more in MS 60 (the lowest uncirculated grade) and six figures in higher uncirculated grades. Even a lower-end AU wouldn't likely be offered for less than $15,000. Real ones are unlikely to be found on the websites of little-known sellers or for bargain prices. There is an old expression, "There is no Santa Claus in numismatics!" It's not just a matter of getting "tips". It's a matter of broader knowledge and experience. Another old and still valid expression is, "Buy the book before the coin!" Nowadays, some of your research can be done online. You should also attend coin shows, coin club meetings and other venues where you can see a variety of authenticated coins and speak with knowledgeable collectors and dealers. Knowledge and experience are important even if you only buy coins certified by major third-party grading services, as the grading service holders have themselves been counterfeited, and even coins in genuine holders vary in quality and desirability. Please see the following forum topics that identify print and online resources that will enable you to become a knowledgeable collector and make wise purchases:

It appears that someone took a large pair of sheers or other tool and tried to cut this coin in two.

Your 1963-D Franklin half dollar, the highest mintage issue (over 67 million), is in approximately Extremely Fine condition, with little remaining luster and numerous abrasions. It has a current retail (dealer sell) value of approximately $10, much less than the lowest applicable "Economy" tier NGC grading fee of $23, to which would be added at least $38 per order in return shipping and processing fees and your cost of shipping the coin to NGC. Third-party grading would add no value to the coin. You can enjoy it in an album or other appropriate holder. Before you even think about submitting coins to grading services, it is essential that you learn how to grade and otherwise evaluate coins yourself. Generally, you should have a sound basis to believe that a coin is worth at least several hundred dollars before you should consider submitting it. Please see the forum topics to which I referred you in your topic about the 1969-D half dollar.

Please post photos of each full side of a coin about which you have questions, not just close-ups. The shelf-like doubling on the reverse of what I assume is a circulated 1969-D Kennedy half dollar is called strike doubling, also known as machine or mechanical doubling. It is caused by a die that is loose in the press and is extremely common. Coins with this form of doubling command no premium. See Double Dies vs. Machine Doubling | NGC (ngccoin.com) and https://www.doubleddie.com/144801.html. NGC would not attribute a coin with this form of doubling. While you should treasure this coin as a keepsake from your grandmother, it is currently only worth its silver value as a "silver clad" (40% silver) 1965-69 half dollar, about $3.50 at today's silver price, a small fraction of what it would cost to submit it to NGC. I assume that you are a relatively new collector. Do you have basic books about coins, such as a recent edition "Redbook", a grading guide, and access to a current price guide? If you don't or even if you do, you should find the books and online resources identified in the following forum topics helpful:

If you have actually seen or at least studied good quality photos of genuine coins of this type, you should sense immediately that this coin is a counterfeit. The surfaces are simply too shiny and smooth and the fine details too sharp and modern looking for this to be a genuine coin struck on a hand operated screw press at the Philadelphia mint in or about 1795. Unfortunately, fakes like these have been mass produced in China for about the last twenty years. Pre-1837 U.S. coins were struck from dies that were created from separate punches for the devices (Liberty head, eagle and wreath), numbers, letters and stars. Each die had these elements in at least slightly different positions, and all coins struck from genuine die pairs can be traced to these specific dies, which are referred to as die varieties, and should match in every detail. There are only two known die varieties for 1795 Draped Bust dollars, the BB-51 or B-14 with the bust of Liberty set farther to the left than on your "coin", and the BB-52 or B-15 with the bust more centered. Here are the NGC VarietyPlus photos of a genuine high-grade BB-52: If you compare these photos with the item you posted, you will find many differences, of which I will name only a few. The "dentils" around the rims of the genuine coin are larger and differently shaped than on yours. The hair and other details are different in configuration, and the stars are farther apart. Per Q. David Bowers's Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia (1993), vol.1 at 224, the break or lump in Liberty's hair appears in all but the earliest die states of the coin but is not present on yours. On the reverse, the olive branch has six berries, not seven as on yours, and they are different in size and shape. The reverse lettering differs markedly in position; for example, the "F" in "OF" does not touch the branch on the genuine coin but does on the counterfeit. The authentication of coins is a complex topic, about which you can read more at NGC Counterfeit Detection | Identify Counterfeit Coins | NGC (ngccoin.com). However, if you are a new collector, you also need to learn basic information about the coins you want to collect. Do you have at least a recent edition "Redbook", grading guide, and access to a current price guide?

Welcome to the NGC chat board. Die cracks are very common on both old and new U.S. coins and unless especially advanced (as where a piece of the die has actually broken out, forming a "cud") generally command little or no premium among knowledgeable collectors. You are welcome to collect them if you find them interesting. I do not see anything else unusual (including the relief of "LIBERTY") on your 2015-P Roosevelt dime. Contrary to what you may have read on some websites, it is extremely unusual to find any valuable mint error, die variety, or other rare coin in circulation. I haven't found any such coin in nearly 53 years of searching through change and accumulations of coins. I know only one collector who ever has, the find being a Lincoln cent overstruck by Jefferson nickel dies received in change and worth perhaps a few hundred dollars. I understand that most such errors were found at counting houses or by bank tellers before reaching circulation and sold to coin dealers. In 2002 the mint instituted procedures that prevent most significant errors from leaving the mint in the first place.

Coins struck through blobby foreign matter, often generically referred to as "grease", are fairly common and nothing new. They are not considered major mint errors or generally worth much of a premium, although I haven't seen many with the coin struck through foreign matter on both sides. I found various progressions of a similar obverse strikethrough on a variety of 1856 large cent. See 1856 Large Cent Mystery - US, World, and Ancient Coins - NGC Coin Collectors Chat Boards.

This appears to be a nice AU 1865 copper nickel three cent piece, the most common date but certainly a great purchase for a dollar!

@J.H.X.--Welcome to the NGC chat board. If you want to post photos of a coin and ask questions about that coin, please do so as a new topic, and include full, cropped photos of each side of the coin as well as any close-ups. Based on the photos you posted, there is nothing special about your 1964 Kennedy half dollar. It has normal frosty luster, the usual strike with weakness at the bottom of the shield, and extensive abrasions indicating that it originated in a regular mint bag of several thousand coins. The patches of die polish marks do not make the coin special; many coins show die polish marks when reasonably new or repolished. The so-called "SMS" pieces have a uniformly satiny finish with essentially continuous die polish in the fields, a full strike, and are in very high grade, indicating special handling. As I pointed out on another recent thread that you have reviewed, another perfectly ordinary coin in my own 1964 mint set displays some of the so-called "die markers".

Welcome to the NGC chat board. No, it can't be, because even from uncropped photos I can see that your 1982-D cent is a large date. See the following comparison, courtesy of @EagleRJO:

If your 2023 proof silver eagle actually had the proof "Morgan dollar" reverse, now that would be something!

Yes, it is just due to an overpolished die, which tends to occur more often with proof issues, whose dies are highly polished. My PCGS certified 1941 proof half dollar happens to be one of them but is unattributed on the holder, as many likely are, and I did not pay a premium for it. Grading services charge an additional fee ($18 at NGC) to attribute a variety like this one, and it often isn't worth it. A substantial percentage of proof 1941 half dollars appear to be of this variety.

I was able to view the NGC certification verification photos for the number provided by @Henri Charriere by entering "NGC Details" as the grade. It is an 1803 large cent graded Fine Details--Damaged. The coin was graded by NGC in 2011, and the photos from that time weren't very clear, but I can see that the coin has at last three noticeable dents on Liberty's portrait, which are the likely cause of the details grade. NGC is no less strict on this type of damage today. If you resubmit the coin in or out of its current holder, you will almost certainly get the same result. Grading services generally do not provide explanations for grades assigned, and I doubt they have the graders' notes from 2011. The majority--perhaps the vast majority--of early (especially pre-1816) U.S. copper coins have surface issues that preclude numerical grading. If you look at the NGC census for numerically versus "details" graded pieces, you will find that the "details" graded pieces are often in the majority, despite most submitters hopefully having the knowledge not to submit most such pieces that have substantial impairments.
