How would you describe what is going on with this H10c?

I am speaking at 2 o'clock. I have never really seen this type of die marriage before. I am pretty certain it is no big deal but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.

    You'll need to explain the characteristic you see better. Is there something raised? All I see is toning.

    Choices include:
    1) debris on the planchet
    2) incomplete or thinned planchet
    3) worn dies.

    Not knowing what the date is or if this is seen on others, I would go with debris on the planchet.

    I believe what I see from he photo is that the denticles have stopped at 2 o'clock and moves up on an angle and then disappears and all you have left is the rim.

    That's common think of gold dollars. The denticals appear missing from your coin from 9 - 2. I agree with Rick. Not enough metal to fill the die due to various reasons.

    Any such thing as a shift in collar?

    Hard to tell from that photo, but possibly a minor lamination.

    EagleEye gave likely possibilities.... would have to examine the coin in hand for any more definite determination. Cheers, RickO

    I think it was attacked by some "wild blueberries".
