I was browsing ebay's completed listings when I noticed this listing. (number 251138669096). It is a typical partially completed penny album with slots for each variety and the mintages listed below. In the fifth photo a slot for the 1936 dot penny is visible. Below the slot it lists the mintage as 678823. I know that there are only 3-5 1936 dot pennies surviving today. Does anyone have any idea where the 678823 mintage came from? Did the mint make this many and melt them or is the number made up?

For an extensive modern article on the dots, check out the story "The Abdication Incident": http://www.nunet.ca/nycc/bulletins/....2007-02.pdf

The number you quote is for mythical business strikes (intended for circulation). The only existing examples of 1c and 10c dots are specimen strikes and business strikes probably never existed (and perhaps were never even planned).

The most likely explanation is that mint insiders created the specimens (1c and 10c) to deliberately create rarities, and constructed the existence of the business strikes to lend credibility to the existence of the specimens.
