Welcome to the forum. The coin clearly shows a dot ( Die chip ) as described. The "Variety" has been known for well over fifty years. It is listed in the old Zoell Catalogues. This piece shown is well worn and of little significance.
To clarify .....before this gets all "DOTTY" this is NOT a rare 1936 DOT 10 cents of which only a very few exist.

 It would be very nice if you could upload your images to the forum using the image optimizer . You will get more attention. |

I don't see a dot, at least where it's supposed to be. There may be someone chiming in here, who Pacific alluded to, that will say it's a "dot". Keep it as a neat thing to have, but not the "rare" one.

definitely a die chip of some sort;
The "dot" variety has a very specific location where the dot was added to the die.

I see the dot, sometimes referred to as the poor man's dot. What I don't see is the bar which increases the value. VG seems right for the grade. Here is a link to the poor mans dot location it's above the second leaf bunch to the left of the bow. http://www.numicanada.com/medias/pi...ves-1936.jpg |

It is a "poor man's dot" variety.
Don't see any evidence of a bar in those pics.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Goldvisor, You can resize your photo's with the image optimizer and crop them to get rid of the background.

No, the "poor man's dot" error does attract a premium, not much, but for those who collect ten cent varieties and errors this is a must have item.

Catalog value is about $85 for the poor man's dot in this condition, actual market value is significantly less like 30-40%. Not the greatest demand out there for this but there is some. I've seen better condition ones go for around $50(they were probably at least a solid half a grade higher if not a full grade). The only book that I believe has this variety valued recently is Brookstone Publishing's Price Guide for Canadian Coins - Professional Edition, but I could be wrong there.
According to Zoell the poor mans dot is worth about 20% more then the bar variety. However the bar variety seems alot more recognized.
I'd guess $25-30 market value on that but you could always find the right guy and get more.
