Is there any reference to this in any catalogues or variety publication. I can't find it? Or is this just liberal use of the term dot? Customer asked cccs to note it as a "dot"
I see that, I had just never heard the term dot used outside of the 1936 1937 1947 issues. Die chip implies an unintentional mark on the die, while a dot is used for intentional dot placed on the die? Is this right?

Exactly. it is a die chip that is simply noted on the holder... Personally, I would rather that CCCS be consistent with numismatic nomenclature and use the term 'die chip' (implies genesis of the anomaly) rather than dot (simply a descriptive term, and most definitely not intentionally placed on the die).
