Thank you for your opinion and recently received a offer of 10k for the coin 🤯

Everyone has different collecting preferences. There's no fundamentally wrong way to collect. If for example you wanted to see if you could amass the world's largest collection of 1964 US nickels, every last one of them worth exactly 5c, that'd be up to you. I wouldn't understand it, but I don't need to. Only you do. However, some people will keep warning you that what you're collecting isn't worth much and never will be, and you should understand this habit of warning, because we have so many new collectors who come here thinking purely of the profit motive. We forum regulars become conditioned to assumptions which might or might not be justified in each person's case. Imagine how it looks to us, with a steady parade of people confidently braying that they have Rare Mint Errors, and us having to give bad news nearly every time. We get into a rut. Those among us who are intellectually honest will admit that.
There are two basic motives in coin collecting: interest and profit. Sometimes a collector follows a combination of the two.
With modern US coins, it's like this. If you collect them because you like them, and you expect minimal profit, then you won't be disappointed because they're cheap and easy to find. If you expect profit from them, you will almost surely be disappointed because they are common enough that demand is not high. You would expect that from how cheap they are. Demand drives pricing. That's why older US coins can be so spendy--demand is high, for example, for bust half dollars and seated half dimes. This is one reason I grew fairly bored with US coins of any age, and turned to ancients as well as coins from the rest of the world. (I love those huge 5 kopek pieces from around 1800. Oni ochen prekrasnii.)
With non-US coins from the modern era, there is far less demand overall. I don't think coin collecting is as popular in some other countries, and for a good percentage of the world coin collecting would be a hobby for the few who could afford such a frivolity. I am sure there are collectors in Bangladesh, but per capita I suspect there are fewer than here. One reason I like modern era world coins is that they're relatively inexpensive for the interest level they offer me (well, that, and I read enough writing systems to have a natural advantage). But I'm never expecting that my world coins will someday be worth large amounts of money. Neither will most of my ancients, so my own goal is not so much profit as to avoid overspending while mostly enjoying the fact that they fill albums of history.
Collect what you want. Not everyone will understand it. On slabs/professional grading, if your goal is eventual profit, you're really throwing money away because you are never going to make back the cost of grading. If you are doing it because you like them, and you would literally rather spend $40-60 on plastic than on the coins you could buy for that $40-60, that's your choice. I also will not understand it, but you don't need anyone's permission to collect what you want the way you want.
I would point out that nearly any modern coin you elect to clean, you will likely harm irreparably, but the good part there is that they probably weren't worth much so at least you didn't lose much money. I have cleaned some world coins that I literally could not identify as they were, because there was nothing to lose. Ancients often come in huge coin clods (someone buried the bag in antiquity and didn't come back for it) that have to be soaked and cleaned just to get them apart safely and to see what they are. That's a sort of cleaning I do understand.
 

Don't clean your coins.
If you have any questions about that, don't clean your coins.
While you are thinking about and evaluating them, don't clean your coins.
Hope that's helpful.

You might have a hard time finding that sweet spot. I don't know what they cost, and in fact I don't even know much about how they work, but I think mostly dealers have them. This would indicate that ones worth having are major capital investments they expect to recoup in avoidance of buying phonies, assay capacity, and so on. Most collectors have basic scales and many have calipers and microscopes (and yes, they do have value provided they are not used for foolish purposes), but I think very very few have metal analysis equipment.

No, you don't. You can sell them to whoever wants to buy them (this one would bring 25c). Certification matters mainly to people who prefer it, primarily those who collect coins that are commonly counterfeited or altered, or to certify that a given variety or error is present.
Before someone spends $40-60 to have a coin certified, one should consider whether it's even worth 10% of that amount. In most cases it is not. I get that, for new collectors, having coins graded and slabbed feels like "doing it right." It isn't, at least not automatically. One should ask oneself just how much really cool stuff one could get for $40-60, and that'll usually answer the question.

Start by assuming they are all circulation marks. That is the automatic presumption and the challenge, the burden is to prove that such a mark somehow happened at a mint.
To use a judicial analogy, assume that the prosecution has video conclusively identifying the accused in the act of committing the crime, and that your task is to prove the accused innocent. That's how skewed it is. If you do that, you will be looking at this sensibly and will not be starting out with false hope, but with healthy skepticism. That's the best help I can offer you.

I always wonder at the audacity of this. In what universe do people imagine that it makes sense to post such a question without images that show what they're talking about? I have no problem with the fundamental question, just beggars all reason that we should somehow be able to answer that from a simple written description.
I get that photography is difficult and irritating. I loathe doing it. That's why I never do it unless I really, really care about the answer, and always on other forums that are more germane to my interests. But if you want it explained, and you won't show us what you want explained...nothing to be said or done but shake one's head.
Guys, is it as simple as that, that photography is hard and people are trying to get out of it if possible? I mean, that's what I'd be doing myself, if I were so out of touch with reality that I imagined anyone could help me without photography. As in, if I could get away with it--which no one can, least of all me.

I did. It's for the benefit of others, and perhaps to bring about discussion of general numismatic ethics. If it was dredged once, it'll be dredged again.

Good photos. Well done.
The zoomed photo makes me think the mint mark took an external impact after the mint. It's not rare for an uncirculated Morgan to get a contact mark that slams right into the mint mark.

We are not shown both sides, but if the reverse looks like the obverse, it's basically worth the copper value.

Sometimes you have to improve your best in order for people to be much help to you. There's this fact that we have to be able to see all of the coin clearly in order to diagnose the situation and in some cases explain the diagnosis.
We get that most people will not read the posting guidelines (why be bothered? those are for other people), but if they are then told that their photography is inadequate to a full diagnosis, they should assume that we have a reason for saying so. No one failed to be calm; someone simply told you the truth.

It's sad when people reach the level of self-parody. It's like watching someone brag about kicking puppies and dumping used oil on the ground, and acting as if this is a thing to brag about. I'm not easily moved to pity for people whose whole basic MO is to take pride in cruelty, but I'm actually starting to feel sorry for you.

There are people simply asking questions; they don't know the terms or parameters, anything, but the questions are polite if misguided. We can educate them. Most of us were them once. No one needs to be a jerk to them.
There are people who ask questions, don't like the answers, then argue and become rude. On those, I seek no mercy. You don't like the answer, great, go find another answer, but that was ours.
The hypocrisy that I find most disgusting is to inflict the punishments deserved by the second group on the first one, and then to lie to oneself and others about one's motives. That's contemptible.
The OP is right. Anyone who doesn't want to answer basic newbie questions, it's okay if they don't come here and do so. Anyone who can't be polite until people are rude to us, fine, sod off, I'm okay with it.

And it's obviously achieving your goal. Ignorance is decreasing everywhere around you, all thanks to your saintliness. I've seen a 16% drop this week alone!
At least stop deceiving yourself, and trying to deceive us, about your motives.

You manage to turn an abraded 1958 wheatie into a reason to hurt someone who was doing you no harm. Wow. Coins, weaponized.
I think what you should do is indict not just her but her whole f-bombing generation (which you are not even f-bombing able to know because I'm not aware her birth certificate is available here), simply because something about the way she posed an innocent and minor question offended your sense of how words should be used. In other news, did you see anyone drop a gum wrapper today that you feel should be drawn and quartered for that? Good gods. That guy didn't stop for a stop sign; got your RPG-7 handy?
Hey, folks, someone seems to have accidentally used a word in a way Kurt doesn't like. Shall we go on an anti-generational rampage? (Which generation?) Where the hell is all our musketry for a firing squad? I thought sure we had gallows in the warehouse.

I bought mine some years back on Amazon, cost me about $35 each. You'd have to find used ones now. They are useless for price purposes but fantastic for text searching.

No, it was after it left the mint. It's worn and granulated, probably from being in the ground.

Well, I am a little taken back by such vitriol over a question. I do have another coin struck like this that is newer so was hard to tell sometimes. Thank you for your input. And for those who don't grasp the forum name "Newbee" and want to belittle or discourage whatever questions, maybe find another forum and hobby. If your not here to help, then you probably need to put your time and effort into something else. Like a therapist or something else to feel better about yourself. People that hurt people or try to make them feel belittled or stupid have some serious insecurities themselves. 
Me, myself have none of those issues and don't take your issues personally. I will continue to ask stupid questions, and I appreciate you kind people out their with your patience and kindness. God Bless to ALL

Nope. I'd say that looks like die deterioration doubling from the pattern. No premium applies.

I use a regular pliers and am very careful. Here's the secret: do not align the grooves of the pliers with the staples. Go at an angle, like 45 degrees. Give room for the tips to squeeze out from under and dig into the cardboard.

Nice to have another of the eh-Team on board here. I didn't know we had any; 'Stang never mentioned, or I never saw. Tough life impacts you had there, man, hang in.
I like pre-Confederation stuff especially, and I appreciate the straightforwardness of the RCNA grading system. The Charlton book is a wonder. I had to get one in order to help some good friends up in Trail get their folks' collection squared away and enjoyed the learning.
I don't know if you care at all about registry sets, but if you do, evidently one of our local collectors has like the champion Canadian cent set. I can ask for details if you'd be interested in seeing it.

Might not have happened that way. I've seen 1950s wheaties that were quite obviously plated and looked very much like this one. Sometimes kids steal from Bampaw's collection, or something else happens to dump them into circulation that was not the intent of whoever plated it (whatever that intent might even have been). I still think it's replated, but I don't really care about the end result.
