I'm trying to figure out if all the harps and guitars have this Dot beside A.
I have 14 Harps in BU and 2 circulated examples. All 16 Coins have this Dot.

I don't have a guitar so I can't check for it.

If you have aa 62 Harp or guitar, can you check and post your results

I figured the guitar didn't have the dot, it was worth have a look tho, thanks smallcentguy.

Hmmm interesting. It seems that all harps came from the same die pairing. ( so far)
I'd be interested to hear someone say their Harp doesn't have the dot ( dots) indicating that it's paired with a different die, or came before the die chip ( Dot) was in the obverse die.

I could only find one of the 2 I have. it is not in the greatest of shapes, but I could not see the dot you have. it is possible the glare off the 2x2 was making it hard to tell. But there was some damage to the coin obverse.

Super old thread but I discovered my first 62 harp today, in excellent condition, and yep, sure enough mines got the dot as well.
