Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 4:39 pm Looks like the dot. You'll need bigger pictures in the grading section for opinions. Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 5:10 pm i agree with the dot and grade but I think its sadly also deserving a scratch and gouge designation, sorry. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff

47P7 Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 10:48 pm Please be aware that a high percentage of Nickels are "naturally" scratched because of what they were used for: Mechanical parking meters! you turn the handle, you move the coin, you get Parking! the coin is a dot, but not better than VG 8, max 10. As for your grading experience? that exactly is what it is all about: experience Report this Post to the Staff
Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 10/12/2014 10:16 am Nice dot coin! Other indicators of a 5c 1947 dot are 1) light dot between A & D of CANADA 2) light dot underneath N of CENTS I can see both of the other dots, so I'd say it is genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
