Welcome to the forum. The first thing I would suggest is posting a picture. And even then, pictures are not good enough to grade from for the most part.  PLEASE post pictures if you ask a question.  Thank you.

Is it certified? Or is it raw? If it’s raw, you don’t have what you think you have.

Like GBrad said cant tell anything without pics. Could be cleaned or anything. Even if it is BU the condition still has alot to do with the price. A mint state 66 coin is worth more than a mint state 62 of the same coin even though they are both uncirculated.

Which DDO?  You have a choice of 2

Which RPM? You have a choice of at least 10

What grade? You have a choice of 11 MS grades

Please confirm that your coin has the characteristics of true hub doubling (notching, widening, etc) and not worthless mechanical doubling. Many times, Mechanical doubling will show up on both the date AND mint mark

What does that even mean? 

[VKurtB]

It is far more likely than 999,999 / 1,000,000 that you have a worthless machine doubled coin that no one will even certify.

@Paul Mckernan Sr

Sorry, but you managed to start posting while the board is getting hit with troll posts.  Keep a thick skin

True hub doubling is rare.  Even the very minor examples aren't common.  Mechanical and Die deterioration doubling are very common and have no value.  Hub doubling occurs when the die is made, mechanical doubling is just process variability in striking caused by loose equipment, planchet movement, etc.

Here are some links that will give you a good place to learn the differences.  It takes time, but all of us started in the same spot

If the major doubled die -- several hundred to $30k if certified MS-63. Stacks-Bowers sold one for $124,000.

If anything else -- 1-cent to $2.

I'll wager the authentication fee at NGC that it's not the "biggie."
