pennyman007: As best I can tell the coin is a real 1946 S$1. It has more eye appeal than in the ebay picture which washed out all the luster/shine and made it look like a dipped coin. I threw it on my cooking scale and it said 24 grams and my plastic calipers make it out to be 35mm which is close to what it should be.

For those interested here is a snapshot of where the dot should be based on the ebay picture...

and below is a closeup of "the small depression (dig) on the obverse between the Bust of KGVI" that Pacificoin pointed out.

How the dot got in the picture posted by the seller on ebay is probably going to remain an unsolved mystery.

A wee drop of water, perhaps? I notice in your first photo that the "bead" has a high-lit spot upper left and a shadowed side lower right, matching those on the devices of the coin itself. It sure looks like part of the coin. Going forward it might be best to ask questions of the dealer if you see big dots or other marks on potential additions to your collection. It's a shame it didn't pan out for you, aswag, I was hoping you had a real find there.
