It's my understanding that the 1936 raised
dot is very rare,but also can be found on the 10 cent and 25 cent as well as the 1 cent in this same year.Has anybody ever seen one,or own one? :) sn31.

I have seen 2- John Jay Pittman used to own them, and he showed them at one of the CNA Conventions in Ontario. (Toronto?)It was a real treat to see.

Hi sn31, good question and lots of good answers..I'd like to add a recommendation that if you can swing it a Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins would be an invalualble reference and guide for you...I've identified several very nice varieties in junk boxes with the knowedge gleaned from this very readable reference. Here in the southern US there is not a lot of interest in things Canadian, so finds are quite possible.
Love those Canadians, especially the large cents!
Dennis
Good luck

Thank you Dennis.I have since obtained 2 Charltons,in different years,and they are indeed helpful.Here in Okie land,all I seem to find are small cents,and the occassional nickel and quarter.I love those large cents too :) sn31.
