RCNA Sale, 1947 Dot Quarter. Origin Of The Dot?

I think the most common misconception was that the dot was an indicator of where the ML was to be placed but obviously not true as the dot is in a different location. Here's another theory of intentional placement of the dot of the 1947 5c (not passing judgement as to the source).

"For a very short period of time while the Maple Leaf was being added to the dies, a provisional "dot" was added to the 1947 dies to strike a small number of coins needed immediately for commerce. Surviving examples of this dot variety are all scarce, and they are extemely rare in uncirculated condition."

Nope. After I received a phone call from someone affiliated with the Bell Auctions, couple of insulting posts were just deleted outright (not edited). CCF Admin supported my decision.

You cannot fault the auctioneer if they are taking their information from well established published sources. If the published sources are wrong, then make better use of being behind the computer screen, take the initiative and publish the right information, with documented proof.

Chequer did exactly that... with the 1982 Constitution dollar "doubled die" mix-up that was in the 67th edition Charlton catalogue.

I also try to correct known mis-information with my CN Journal column.

Canadian numismatics would be far better off, with "those who know better" educating and publishing their knowledge, rather than embarking upon a witch hunt.
