Castor, that is a great job! I was looking on the wrong end, and with my "Zoom-Text"m, I still could not make it big enough to see!
Let me say this, "don't try to pull any wool over Castor's eyes"!
Thank you for showing me the light, (or should I say dots)?
Dick

Yep, that's it. You had to look in the right place. For a long time I was looking at the maple leaf's veins because they were horizontal. What is meant is the black pixels contained within the red paint/dye. I still can't believe you went through the trouble to find that. How many fingers, son?

Great zoom and "little arrows everywhere - old song" Castor. I can see them now too with the zoom and arrows showing where to look! Thanks you :)

Thanks castor, yep, thats it. I apologize to everyone for not getting the right directions, but castor has done a wonderful job with the pics. You certainly are an expert on getting good shots. Thanks again, take care.

The first rolls that I got had a distinct lack of 2 dots- about 1 to every 4 1 dot, but the last 2 rolls that I have looked at have them in almost equal proportions- 41 to 39

OK, now I see it. COOL!!
I went through mine and found some are distinctly one dot, some two and some the dots are overlapping so it looks like one elongated or oblong dot. Has anyone counted all the "other" dots? Or looked at other colourised quarters?
I counted the dots on my 2004 and 2008 poppies (the dots that project inwards from each corner towards the centre of the poppy) and found in 2004 there are 3 dots and 2008 there are 2 dots. Anyone have different?
I feel this dot difference constitutes a second variety, would anyone disagree?

So there are at least three different 'stamped or painted' designs, does this mean a different type or does the physical metal of a coin typically need to be different to constitute this? I ask because for example on the colored Olympic quarters the stamping/painting had a lot of variance but I don't recall anyone saying they were different types, perhaps because there were no patterns such as in this case?

Its hard to tell, but I don't remember Olympic quarters with different paint marks having a different classification or value, at least, I have not heard of any differences.

The other thing- on the 2 dots variety the horizontal lines have even numbers of dots on both sides of the centre section, while the one dot variety has a larger number of dots (7, rather than 5) on the outside (both left and right). The placement of the dots on the poppy seems to vary, too, but this I put down to randomness, with the poppy put down first, then the dots applied later, in another pass.
