I have a 1959 10c Hong Kong coin with no mint marks, yet all the catalogs show that the 1959 10c coin is H mint marked. Can someone explain the why and how of this?
Thanks

If I remember right, the mint mark is super, super small. You might need a magnifier to see it. Should be on the bottom of the obverse I believe.

Yes I think you are right, magnified under a bright light there is a very faint H under the N in CENTS. Appreciate it

Turns out I had the wrong side of the coin, but I'm glad you still found it :)

I love your site, as you know - I always quote it on here when a member is looking for variations. Can the spelling on the link be changed; I know nothing about websites but hope it can. Thanks
