Mohawk

I'm with Coinbuf.  While it is a nice coin, that rim damage is going to result in a Details grade for sure.  I'd say that coin would be excellent for a nice album collection.  Not every coin needs to be slabbed.

You're getting there fast. A couple refinements already suggested, and you'll be able to present photos we can evaluate. Note that it is okay to supplement the full pics with zooms of areas in question (necessary for repunched mint marks and so on). Armed with that information, some pretty sharp observers equipped with 40+ years of experience and good references regarding known errors are in position to help you a lot. Your next step would be to get a current Red Book, the bible of US coinage, and an ANA grading guide. That would help you filter out a lot of questions by enabling you to know the answers yourself--quicker and more self-sufficient.

It never ceases to amaze me how some educated people can still manage to be so ignorant, but they certainly can, sadly.

There are some times in collecting where a nice, circulated coin can have more character than an MS piece of the same date and denomination.  I'd say this 1948-A 10 Pfennig is one of those pieces.  I really like the dark coloration and the weathered look it has.  These are the seller's pics and it's coming from Latvia, so I'll be waiting for it for a while:

Hakkaa päälle. Yep, yet another chapter in the eighty-year history of pretentious ignorance. Despite two degrees.

Funnier: it was in the car and my mother was driving. She had been mother-henning Paula about having enough money to go shopping. Her response was her head on a swivel and asking: "You do WHAT?" She then went into a splutter about not knowing how they did things in Finland (like most religious fanatics, my mother is deeply ignorant; one of her first questions to Paula was whether Finns were related to Russians...good lord), but that they needed to have a talk before Paula went anywhere. No idea what would have happened if I hadn't been riding along in back, having realized early on that Finnish native speakers have terrible trouble with our consonant blends and some other sounds. For example, Paula would say she spoke Feeneess, Svediss, Zerman, and Engleess. She called me "Zahn," as close as she could get to "John." So I was able to disassemble the problem without too much delay, cackling as I did so.

Also, you should always crop the photos so the whole coin images are as large as possible. Modern photos have very high resolution and if cropped, the coin will in most cases show as much larger (as in about the size of the original partial image).
My stomach rolled a bit when you talked about cleaning with vinegar. Don't clean them at all unless you must remove physical matter that obscures identification or is actively corrosive (like PVC slime). Saying that is like saying to a daycare: "So what ways do you suggest I starve and torture my kids? Dog food and hickory stick work okay?" No, nyet, nein, lo, non, la, okhi, etc. Here is the reason: most forms of chemical cleaning and all forms of physical abrasive cleaning will alter the basic natural color and look. Before, it was just dingy, maybe; after, it looks unnatural, not right. And if value matters, bad cleanings (which would include nearly all novice cleanings) generally drop the value a couple of full grades. That means that the nicer the remaining detail, the more money you throw away.
There are a very, very few people to whom none of my cautions would apply. I know one. I am not myself one. This board might or might not have one, but they are rare and they all paid to play (meaning they had to practice somewhere).

A)  Never clean in vinegar, it is a very aggressive substance and can strip a coin's surface and patina.
B)  Never under any circumstance ever polish any coin, you will completely destroy it and eliminate any numismatic value.
The only liquid I would suggest for anyone to use is 100% acetone (not nail polish remover) this will not react with or damage the surface of coins.  It will remove any foreign and organic matter that is on the coin without damaging it.

Don't.  Most coin video on Youtube are garbage and they would probably show you a lot of worthless mechanical doubling or Longacre doubling.

In case you want to know why we always need the whole coin, in short, there are a number of reasons. Some of mine overlap Woods's. First, a positive attribution (as in identification) helps us know if there is a known error in that issue. Second, in case of damage, both at the mint and afterward, what affects one side can affect the other. Third, it helps to know the overall grade (for which the whole coin is needed) in order to determine whether it's even worth you worrying about. So it's not just pedantry; it's necessary information collection to best help you.

Oh and just to help your learning. Many times in identifying varieties, errors, etc on a coin there are many things to look at. Many are called die markers, pick ups, etc. On top of that there is a wealth of information on items such as known and validated doubled dies, repunched/over mint marks, and many other varieties which can be looked up by date/mint. You will see that in some of the links Mohawk included. Knowing the year/mint and seeing the full coin is very often relevant to answer most any question even if it may not be obvious why. It’s kind of like putting together a puzzle and you need all the pieces to complete it. 

Wasn't trying to berate you or discourage you.  We get a lot of folks you that think we're mind-readers.
If you're interested in coins, stick around awhile.  You could probable get many of your questions answered just by searching through the many threads and posts here and links Mohawk posted.  If not, as you can see there are many here to help you.    

We may come across as brash from time to time, but know that we love nothing more than helping new collectors who want to be helped. Over half the time we get people coming to the forum to argue insane ideas and refuse to listen to logic and experience. Please come back with any questions. And as stated we are pretty easy with just a few things we ask. Well focused and cropped to fill the screen of front and back of the coin. Then clearly ask what it is you are curious about, which you did just fine. If it’s something that requires magnification you can also post a few close ups, but remember focus is everything. We would love to help you and your daughter so don’t be turned off by your first experience. Nicest group of collectors you will meet on here once they know you are seriously wanting help. 
 
 

Yes thank you for all your help and suggestions. As I did put my question in the subject line that was the only place it let me put any wording other then replying to my own question. When I say I'm new I literally mean that this is the first question I've ever asked anyone. It is a 1944 mercury dime. No it is not the one were the columns have the lines. I have started collecting wheat pennies for my 14 yr old daughter her fathers passed away and used to collect. I found this while looking for pennies. Being a single mother with no family or friends its hard to know were to turn especially on the internet. As far as picture of the whole coin my question was in reference to the E and D only so thought that was the only part anyone needed to see. Thank you kindly for the links. I will surely study them. I appreciate all of your answers and help. 

The RM's The Great Engravers Series is a smash hit with collectors something similar from the U.S. Mint would no doubt be even more so, but I have zero confidence that the reproduced designs would look as good. I'm pretty sure the U.S. Mint will be replicating more classic designs in the very near future.

Our coins are complete garbage these days. The art and beauty of the classics is long gone. I think if the mint did a retro series it would be a big hit. Similar to what they did with the Morgans and Peace dollars but with some more interesting coins. 

All good points, TJ, and good advice for Deana to follow going forward.

Hi Deana.
First off, welcome to the forum and hello!  And I'm with Jonathan....I don't see any evidence of doubling on your coin, either.  Jonathan gave you a great resource with the article by Mr. Lange.  I just wanted to add a couple more links for you that have good information on doubled dies and other errors and varieties.  The first is our hosts' Variety Plus page:
https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plus/
Secondly, Error-Ref is a great resource as well:
https://www.error-ref.com/
Variety Vista also has a listing of many U.S. coin varieties and some good photos of them:
http://varietyvista.com/
And the last is Wexler's Die Varieties:
http://doubleddie.com/
Also, since you mentioned YouTube, I want to cover that with you as well.  YouTube is probably the worst place on the entire Internet to get coin information.  There are a lot of people on there who post coin videos that are full of outright lies, half truths and sensationalist misinformation that will steer you wrong about coins every time.  These people are looking to create click bait, so that they get more views on their videos.  So, unless a coin video on YouTube is posted by a reputable numismatic organization, such as NGC, ANACS, PCGS, the ANA or the PNG, do not even waste your time with it.  Joining this forum was a great step....there is a lot of experience and information here, and most of us are willing to do anything we can to help a new collector out.

Hi Woods,
Sorry it took me 400 years to check out your site, but it looks good.  Very professional.  It's easy to navigate, it has good photos and the links and pages all work correctly.  I think you're going to make some U.S. collectors quite happy with your offerings.  Best of luck to you!

I'm reminded of when our Finnish exchange student said to my mother, "Oh. I have sex for money." My mother is a religious fanatic, and you can imagine her reaction. Finally the family language junkie, who had analyzed her accent patterns, held up a checkbook. "Checks, right?" "Yes. Sex." Then we told her what she'd been saying. She immediately colored like a second-degree sunburn.

Now, THAT is a great story!!! I got all screwed up with language learning....in middle school, I took German from 6th-8th grade.  Then, I got to high school and switched to Spanish because the high school German teacher and I, well, did not get along.  Let's say that.  And it didn't help that I was in Spanish classes for all four years with this guy who would manage to say the absolute stupidest things you can imagine in Spanish.  He really mangled things and would end up saying things like "Señor Hernandez is vomiting dogs" or "Señora Escobar is raining urine today" in Spanish.  It was absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah. I remember being having to look twice when I got my 1969 proof sets. The improvement was remarkable.

PS: The thread title has a typo..... it says "Trump Coins" but it should be "Trump Cons." There are no circulating coins with T****'s orange portrait or name on them.
