mcstone Valued Member United Kingdom 179 Posts	Posted 02/03/2014 11:27 am Looks like a small die chip error to me, I can understand the one on the antler but the one by the C seems unusual. :) Report this Post to the Staff
lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 02/03/2014 1:31 pm Dot by the C is a result of a die pit----pits are on older dies and get bigger over time----I hear they are caused by die polishing, but I think there has to be another explanation. A good example is the 1858 Vicky 20 cent coin which has a pit between the dot and A of regina-----Every single coin I have ever seen has this pit---Some small , some big---About 400 coins in all !!!

cderksen Valued Member Canada 95 Posts	Posted 02/03/2014 5:39 pm I am not that smart when it comes to coins, but I am learning. I am very good at doing different kinds of jobs though, and to me it looks like wielding spatter. (The hot sparks that fall off). Only my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 02/03/2014 9:37 pm I agree with welding with only that dot---the dot could be removed fairly easily---knock it off---- PMD Report this Post to the Staff
Kafka Valued Member Canada 352 Posts	Posted 02/03/2014 9:50 pm How about the other dot? Report this Post to the Staff
NickT707 New Member Canada 36 Posts	Posted 04/28/2016 02:20 am One on the antler could be a rust bubble. All quarters after 2001 are plated Steel. Other one looks like a die pit Report this Post to the Staff
