[QUOTE="Hello, post: 24711667, member: 149560"]I'm not a pro, but that looks like double dies to me. The double dies on the eyes look copper colored in the closeups, but look the right shiny silver color from further away. The copper coloring could be a natural defect in the photo because dimes are so shiny, they can be hard to photograph. I damaged some dimes with harsh cleaning when I didn't know what I was doing, and they didn't look anywhere near as nice as your dime looks. It certainly didn't create an illusion of a double die, like your coin strongly appears to have. Even if your coin did have a layer damaged from harsh cleaning, that doesn't nullify potential double dies in your coin. If you have a professional coin dealer in your area, see if they'll give an opinion. That's your best bet to understand your coin. My vote is for double die. Considering the coming Halloween season, the double dies in the eyes, or whatever that is, at the very least has some novelty value, as it looks very creepy, spooky, and very Halloweenish. .. cheers!!.[/QUOTE]
