I have come to the conclusion that it was struck in 1936 first, not 1937.  |

Nothing complex. First pic. Crowned King dies in his 25th year or Reigning King dies after 25 years. Second pic. New King Ascends to Throne in 1936.   |

I see no difference in the crown, if that's what you are implying.

Didn't write anything about the crown being different.
King on the front of the coin is the Crowned King and/or the Reigning King.

What I am saying is very straight forward Pacificoin.
"I have come to the conclusion that it was struck in 1936 first, not 1937."
My research if you will is based on the tangible, the coin itself and events in history that did occur.
What research do you have that the 1936 25 cent dot is a 1937 issue?

King died jan, 1936---coin minted and issued 1936 because of short supply---the mint tradition is to wait for a new year before minting new year coins for the new monarch---the mint could not wait until 1937 for 1937 coins so they put in the dot to signify the break in tradition.

That is why there should never have been a 1936 Cent dot coin----there was no shortage of cents. The 4 that were produced are bogus--inside job.

Here's a quote from Calgary Coins.. Quote:Edward VIII accessioned as King in 1936 and preparations to strike 1937 coins with his image were made but he abdicated so new designs for 1937 with the portrait of George VI were required. Masters for those dies were prepared in England but were not ready at the beginning of 1937 but coins were needed. 1, 10 and 25 cent coins were struck from 1936 George V dies, with a small dot below the date indicating used in 1937, but only the 1936 dot quarters were actually issued and available to the average collector. All 1936 dot 1 and 10 cent coins were destroyed with none issued, although a few 1 and 10 coins now exist in specimen strikes clouded in controversy as none were known prior to the mid 1940's when they suddenly appeared in the hands of a single collector. It is certain they were made at the Royal Canadian Mint and are not simply fakes, but when they were made is uncertain |

"Noun: commemorative 1.An object (such as a coin or postage stamp) made to mark an event or honour a person" [source WordWeb]
I see the 25 cent 1936 dot as a type of commemorative and I will try to explain.
"King George V; Ascended to the throne: May 6, 1910; Died: January 20, 1936; Reigned for: 25 years, 8 months, and 15 days; Succeeded by: his son Edward VIII"[source britroyals.com]
Focus on the 25 with crown over and you have; Reigning King dies after 25 years service to the Throne. Focus on the dot below the date and you have; New King Ascends to Throne in 1936.
"King George V; Crowned: June 22, 1911; Died: January 20, 1936; Succeeded by: his son Edward VIII"[source britroyals.com]
Focus on the 25 with crown over and you have; Crowned King dies in his 25th year of service to the Throne. Focus on the dot below the date and you have; New King Ascends to Throne in 1936.
The front of the coin has King George V and the back of the coin is the story about the events in history that did occur.
The dot simply represents that a King different from the portrait and titles is now sitting on the Throne.
Just how I see it.

Either Dean is back or there is a real full moon somewhere out there. Now, just where did I leave that Aluminum Foil Hat ?

Wow! All these years I thought that the '35 dollar was the 25th anniversary commemorative.
