1936 Dot Penny Found! "12/06/2012"

I found it odd as-well that the others are specimens.. altough there is a dot there, there is the smudge, and weighs the same. just not a specimen. * I tought about thsi aswell*

Hello folks. I am the co-owner of the oh so interesting 1936 dot penny. Why is it interesting? Because of its value, obviously. Bpositive and I have been in the coin business for about 2 or 3 weeks now, and check it out... we found a 1936 dot penny. Or have we? If we were absolutely sure, we wouldn't be looking for anybody's second opinion, however, since we are new to coins, we decided to take some pictures and post them on the site to see if anyone could be of genuine help in determining the status of our coin. To the naked eye, yes, there is most definitely a dot below the date, appearing to be where it should be. Upon closer inspection with a camera, it seems even more obvious, that YES indeed, there is a dot exactly where it should be. Though I will admit, there is some wear in the area of the dot. With this said, a worn 1936 dot penny, my friends, is still a 1936 dot penny.
Allow me to explain a bit about my trip to the "Coin Cabinet". Upon entering the store, it was immediately apparent that the owner was nervous and unsettled simply by my presence (along with my fathers, we went out fishing today, had a great time). When I explained to the so called coin "professional" that I may have the rare 1936 dot penny, it was clear in his initial reaction that like many of you, he was very pessimistic and had his mind made up. He looked at the coin for a few seconds, and said no, it's not it, and nervously handed the coin back. He seemed totally uninterested in the fact that he was possibly holding such a valuable coin, not to mention, he was very rude from the onset of our visit. I asked, well, how could you be so sure? He said, because the marking isn't in the right place. Now, it takes no genius to match our pictures with those of others in order to determine that, hey! The frikkin dot is in the exact right place. So, rather then squabbling with some jerk who wouldn't give me the time of day (I figured this guy probably wouldn't be too happy about someone surpassing his profit margin in an instant, considering he's been collecting for years, and considering his attitude). Soooo, getting to the point. The coin is what is is regardless of pessimism or optimism or skepticism. I'm really only interested in people who have a genuine interest in determining whether or not this is the real thing. I'm no coin expert, but seriously... look at the pics, they speak for themselves.

I guess you mean those crappy pics on the first page? Been there, done that. They suck.

Post some real pics.

HERE THEY ARE!











* Now you guys can be the judge! *


ITS A DOT PENNY! :D

I just notice both of your chosen usernames: bpositive and B-Real.

We need to see a new member to be name: b_Realistic!

In all seriousness though, not looking for edited by Forum Mom to remove unacceptable word. This is a family-friendly forum. feedback, looking for feedback from someone who knows what they are talking about. Would be much appreciated, thanks!

NOT A DOT
A 1936 cent with a die chip so close as to make it interesting and worth hanging on to,but absolutely not a '36 dot.

OK! I am serious!

That coin with the new pictures is NOT the dot cent.
