Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 08/11/2013 03:57 am Oh good, that makes me feel a bit better about missing it. I thought it looked cleaned too but the price was okay. Report this Post to the Staff

nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 08/27/2013 06:34 am Hi Basil The coin is a dot under. I last week went through 56 coins from this obverse die and the dot and/or a microscopic die marker on the reverse identified all but 3 as coming from the same reverse, the remaining 3 were too grimy/battered to spot either the dot or the die marker. The odds are against the No Dot English existing. Report this Post to the Staff

Tim Bowden Valued Member Australia 112 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 02:27 am Hi Neal, Mr T, others. Just a quick note to say that I had seen the earlier comments, and actually agree that the coin imaged on my resource site is likely to be a 'dot below' that has become a 'no dot' by means of die fill error, but what has now become commonly known as the 'no dot' through publication, pricing guides, and the passing of time. When putting the site together, I am trying to get images up first, then go back and fill in descriptions. I have not been able to do so at the rate I would like to, but do find moments when I can add and update content. It had always been my intention to qualify the images of the 'no dot', both Indian and London, as likely die fills, however I had not put descriptions with images. I had also wanted to let the dust settle to get more input before adding the description, however haven't prioritised it, due to time constraints. A friend of mine gave me a nudge today, which brought it back to mind, and it also pointed out to me that incomplete information is mis-information, so I have done the descriptions and qualifiers for the 1920 'no dots'. I have addressed the issue with my opinion, and referred those wanting more information on the Neal's other thread. 1920 no dots, does it exist? Once the revision has finished uploading (4-5 hours .....), I will post the link. Please understand that my resource site is intended to provide basic information from which people can then expand and learn through more knowledgeable sources.

Tim Bowden Valued Member Australia 112 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 06:05 am Further to last, my resource site has finally uploaded the update. 1920 Australian Penny, no dot, London obverse I have added a description with my perspective, and a link back to Neal's 1920 London thread, as I think it qualifies well what I am trying to present with my description, and provokes thought and consideration for those interested in finding out more. Once again, I see my resource site as a starting point for collectors, rather than anything else. If someone finds it useful - well good. If people wish to debate finer points or express different opinions, well the forums are a great place to share views and perspectives, and for all to learn. Thank you for all for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Regards, Tim Bowden TDK APDC Report this Post to the Staff
nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 10/16/2013 01:59 am Hi Tim Good update on your website. You have a typo there in the spelling of Indian. The No Dot Indian probably does exist (but only from about 5 FBL dies) but there are those who think ALL no dots (including the Indian)are die fill. Neal Report this Post to the Staff
Tim Bowden Valued Member Australia 112 Posts	Posted 10/16/2013 05:30 am Woops - Thanks Neal - I'll sort that out shortly. Report this Post to the Staff
