I see nothing wrong with that dime..... just a bit og die wear

I think what you are referring to is the coin's excessive die wear. It's caused by dies striking too many coins before either being resurfaced or taken out of service.

I had to get a dime out of my pocket for comparison... I don't see any extra leaves or berries. Could you maybe point out what you are talking about?

Here is another pic of the reverse...

The coin seems to have been struck from very deteriorated dies. I can kind of see some doubling on the tips of the leaves. Maybe it is die deterioration doubling.

Now I see some doubling. Very interesting. Could you maybe take the pictures outside in better light?

Sure here's another scan.

Hi Dogs -- It's still quite difficult to analyze the coin based on the scanned image. I see what I think -- as in maybe -- doubling on the leaf cluster on the left side of the branch. The tip of the middle leaf of that cluster in particular appears to be doubled in a way that suggests a DDR. I don't have any attribution guides for 10c varieties -- anybody else?

[dogsrmylife-migration]

Would scanning with a higher resolution like 9800-19000 help?

[Die Varieties]

From what I'm seeing in the scans it looks to me to be die deterioration doubling.

[AlixTCat]

Sure here's another scan.

 

I don't understand why your scans look so bad. Scan them at 600dpi resolution and don't resize the scanned images. Even my cheap scanner does an adequate job of scanning at 600dpi.

I've never heard of resolution like that. 600dpi is all you need. Then don't resized the images like you have been doing.

Ok, I scanned it with no resize and 600dpi. I hope this turns out ok.

[dogsrmylife-migration]

Looks a little better.

Dogs -- You get an "A" for effort and persistence; but, as for the photos/scans . . . they're just not good enough to allow a meaningful opinion. Sorry.

[dogsrmylife-migration]

i'll work on it ...thanks.
