ImageIcon tenP = new ImageIcon("10p.jpeg");
tenP = new JButton("", tenP);   (etc)

You declare tenP to be an ImageIcon, OK, but then you try to assign a JLabel to that variable, not OK.
You need to create a different variable for the JLabel itself.

thank you after changing that the images are not displaying as buttons, instead its just normal gui buttons?

The thing that often goes wrong with ImageIcon is this:
new ImageIcon("somefile") does NOT throw an Exeception if it can't find the file, it just returns null. Then new JButton("some text", anImageIcon) does NOT throw an Exception if the image icon is null, it just doesn't display anything. So no errors flagged, you just don't get an image.
That is usually caused by Java looking for the file in the wrong directory.
Test this by
1. Printing the ImageIcon to see if it's null
2, Using a full path, starting from the drive letter, for the file.
