1936 Dot ?
Cheers Don

A possible dot is what I was thinking as well. To add: Not saying it is (or isn't) but I've noticed sometimes sellers photograph some of their items in such a way that it leads a potential buyer to believe it's a variety that's gone unnoticed, thus "chance" gets built into a purchase at a higher price....when in fact it's only an illusion!

- I was drunk and hit bid 15 times ....
- Sometime up north it gets a little "shilly" ...
*shrugs*
my best two guesses... may auction fever?
Who knows but if the auction is legit... congrats to the seller... wow

My guess is that the first bidder accidentally put too much for their max bid (ex. $21 instead of $2.10) or something like that. Then the second bidder is a shill bidder, only item they've bid on in the last 30 days seems a bit suspicious.

Seems a bad case of the mumps! Look very closely - I can see at least 15 dots below the word "cents", including the one below 1936 that's too high up, compared to the photographed 1936 dot variety.
Perhaps it's a one-of-a-kind prewar version of a sort of morse code/Victory nickel and that's the attraction? That must be it.

Look at the bidding history. It's two rookies that don't know what they are doing, or one rookie and a VERY good shill bidder. I've seen this before. Each bidder is clueless and ASSUMES the other bidder knows what he (or she) is doing. When they are both clueless a train wreck is inevitable!

Is it me, or does that reverse 1936 dot image on the Coins & Canada website (see aswag's link, above) look like a 'made-in-China' example? Looks nothing like a specimen strike, nor any of the real 1936 dot cents I have seen over the years...

SPP, you're right.
I'm not too familiar with the fake versions, but I can tell it does not look genuine at all. Way too many things off. Could they not have use the same picture we've seen in catalogues or on Google?

yep, shows "replica" right on the coin..... I guess they don't have the real thing, so showed what the real one is suppose to look like with this "replica" example...  |

I remember seeing some great examples of the 36 "dot" cent not that long ago here.. Remember that "the bigger the dot" ..more value gets assigned to it..  |

Rather intriguing, I don't think I can post the link but J&M Coin and Jewellry catalogue a 1936 1c dot along with a corresponding photo. That dot is placed much higher than "the replica". "Only 4 known samples".
