noviscoin New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 2:52 pm Does anyone know of this 'DOT' below the date on a 1864 2 Cent Coin? The 'DOT' is in relief, whereby the north end is higher than the south end because the south end has been worn down. Thanks for any help offered. Report this Post to the Staff

noviscoin New Member United States 39 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 8:02 pm Well.., my pics do not show it, but it is a full circle with the south point (relief) worn off. And there is not any indentation on the south end. Dark area is environmental. Report this Post to the Staff

I have one or two 1864s and have not seen a variety like this. If it was a die chip then I would have expected to come across more the large number date is fairly common.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 05/27/2013 12:11 pm On a postive note, I think the date is an RPD. Often, remnants of an underlying date are retained inside numerals. Here, you can see a remnant of an 8/8 in the 8's lower loop. I think I see a 6/6 too. Report this Post to the Staff
