I have just gone through another 1000 10p's looking for "Alphabet" letters. After about 875 , I found this one.
The obverse has extra metal around the letters etc. and then I saw the date , the 4 is practically missing from 2014. I thought " I'll keep this one " , then I turned it over and WOW!!!

all the extra metal on the bottom and running down the side of the Lion.
Best one I've got at the moment.
If I am not mistaken the area the "4" should be corresponds to where the metal is?
Consolation prize eh. Did you get any alphabet 10ps? I've not found any in my change yet.
No alphabet this time, I'll get another £100 pounds worth on Monday.
That is a keeper. The 4 missing is, I think a clogged die. But the back may be a broken die. Not sure though. Very nice
It is, what it is, or is it.
Found another one to keep , the obverse is feint on the words & date . The reverse has the value "TEN PENCE " missing (only slightly visibly).
nice look at it weight and thickness. May be a weak strike .
