But, it seems that this forum isn't of much help,  How is that so? You asked a question about a coin and you got a definitive answer from a number of people that just might know what they are talking about. If you were looking for positive and praising answers so that you could embellish a listing on ebay then you are probably correct, the forum wasn't much help in that aspect. Like I stated before , No amount of "Fish tailing" will turn your coin into a 1936 dot penny Edited by trout1105

Haha, "fish tailing" coming from the trout himself. Funny. But what I was looking for was something that would totally convince me, one way or the other, and I'm not convinced, and I doubt you would be in my shoes either, seeing what could be at stake. The problem with forums like these are bull  thread replies such as the one you just posted. Sure, some of the thread was helpful, and I gave my thanks for that, but people who have nothing better to do then to pour their sad pessimism out on a serious inquiry (such as your own)should really just stfu. I know internet, and I know real life, and sad to say, the psychology of people like you are saddening, because I know how far different your response would be if this discussion happened at a table in real life. Just saying chump. So fish tail yourself to a place where your own input is of some value, or shut yo gills! |

That was a bit rude and uncalled for , Next time you insult me please be a little bit more creative and maybe add a bit of Witt so that I can have another laugh.   You wouldn't know me from a bar of soap, How can you come up with an assumption as to my character. I will give you a little insight. I am a bit long in the tooth with a very low tolerance for bullies,fools and shysters I collect coins purely as a hobby. We have all been in the same boat at one stage or another with coins we think are super rare and just turn out to be a run of the mill coin. So in your next cup of coffee add some cement so that you can harden up old mate and just accept that you haven't found an exceptional coin. I truly wish that it was a 1936 dot penny and I would have congratulated you on a great find because I like nothing better than to see an unusual and rare coin saved from the pond  So B positive and B real, BEWARE it is ill advised to wind up grumpy old men with a bad attitudes |

I agree that it is a die chip. It is not circular enough to be the dot IMO.

Sigh only those with small vocabularies use vulgar language...this is due to the fact that they cant think of better words to use ;)
Thanks for making this thread, I enjoyed all of the amusing comments.
"So in your next cup of coffee add some cement so that you can harden up old mate and just accept that you haven't found an exceptional coin." LOL!
Sorry to hear you dont have the dot, but it looks like it is time to move on.

HAHA at the replies, Gotta love internet toughness. no one that has answered to this thread been "tough" at all in my opinion. Most of us on this site are friendly , helpful , civil and courteous. The only people in this thread that have attempted to be " Internet tough " is B and Minne B, You blokes work it out amongst yourselves who is who Edited by trout1105

I am curious as to why you posed the question to the forum when regardless of what opinions you are given you will not take them on board Think for a minute: there may be a reason the coin dealer you went to spent 3 seconds looking at the coin  and why there is a unanimous opinion amongst forum members Ive just gotta say though this is in my top three most entertaining threads followed since joining CCF. |

I really think it is time for this thread to end! What a bunch of nonsense these two characters are trying to spin. As a coin dealer with over 40 years of real numismatic history behind me I can tell all the reasonably thinking numismatists here one thing. This 1936 cent is NOT a real dot! The coins w ere never ever issued for circulation and the history story is probably similiar to that of the storied US 1913 Liberty nickels and other great US rarities. Mint back door jobs intent on lining the pockets of the chosen few. When guys like Breal and Bpositive used to walk into my store, they would not listen to a word of knowledge, they already knew it all anyways! So after about the three seconds the Coin Cabinet gave these two "numismatic experts" (two seconds too long BTW), I'm sure the dealer would have wished they Bgone ! . You know what they say about an idiot and his rock...........to him who holds it, it is pure gold! Next how about a thread about my 1936 DOT ten cents ? !!!! Back to fishing boys and do not insult the trout! I am sure trout tastes much better than Atlantic cod or salmon! |

The 1936 dot Canadian cent is Canada's version of the U.S. copper 1943 or steel 1944. Over the last few years there have been so many that are unconvinced that their find isn't the find of the century. After their initial threads, you never hear from them again.

It's quite obvious that no amount of discussion here is going to convince the OP this coin is not real so I'm locking this topic temporarily. bpositive, when you get this coin back from a TPG and have some pictures send a note through the contact us link and I'll unlock it. |
