2010 Cent some pics make it look triple died

This coin is insane IMHO the coolness of some of these shots makes this coin rather interesting I think. What do y'all think? It was a freebie from Littleton Coins lol. Especially like the ear lobe area.

IllIget better full body pics tomorrow in natural lighting because this lighting sucks.

 

well I'm not a photographer either but based on those pics I would say MD, but as you stated the lighting well lets just say it doesn't help us. Lol

No more pictures please.

 

Trying to determine a DD from bad photos through plastic, is not the way to attribute a coin. It looks like a nice BU example.
Always remove the coin from it's holder for photo'ing.

 

Well, I didn't want to remove it just because it's in a sealed package that can't be resealed. Suppose it not a huge deal. And paddy why would you say no more photos please? Just don't open my posts if you have a limit to your data, not like it's something you HAVE to do. It's not a requirement. Otherwise keep those kinds of opinions to yourself.

 

If you don't want to look at my post then don't flipping open it. To put it nicely.

 

Now, I see MD but I also see something else going on and can't figure out what. Is it MD and DD?

 

It's still MD but prolly some die deterioration thrown in. I searched and searched for a DD and then when I was about done looking, I bought a couple coins that were in a collection. Raw examples, 64 Kennedy's and I saw what true doubled die meant. it changed how I looked at coins. Hang in there and trust your instinct. If it has the same doubling that you are used to seeing then throw it into a roll for another day. When you find the true doubled Die coin, you will never forget.

 

It's MD and the plastic is messing with your images.

 

I took it out of the plastic for the last pictures.

Anyways okay and thank you for your opinion, as always it's very appreciated.

Guess it was the notches on the liberty and initials that was really throwing me off.

 

I think the light and reflection of the coin is what looks like notches. I get those also when taking pictures of shiny newer coins, but if you change your focus the notches change with it. Sometimes you will swear it's a DD, but moving the coin slightly or readjusting the focus will change the reflection on the high end points and take away the notches you see. Try taking pictures with a small angled block under your coin in different positions so light is not directed directly back to the camera lens. Good Luck!

 

OK

And the correct terminology would actually be Tripled Die.. not triple died

Peace

 

And this is the reason to always refer to the coin and not the image. Incorrectly lit photos will always give you a false impression of the coin.
