thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 4:30 pm Hey all, Was just wondering if there are any known die markers besides the dot of course to match up with suspected dot coins? I have 1 in particular that shows no visible dot the naked eye and is even very faint under 10x magnification, but at 30x magnification with a light it becomes quite visible. This one has a dot along with several other smaller ones. Any thoughts on this quarter? TIA Report this Post to the Staff

Andy888 Valued Member Canada 324 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 7:28 pm This one doesn't qualify as a dot coin in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
Quatchi Valued Member Canada 228 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 8:48 pm Not a "'47 dot" type dot Report this Post to the Staff
thrustie Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 9:12 pm Ok, thanks all. I figured I'd better ask before writing it off as just a nice unc 47. So basically the 47 dot quarter is pretty much the same as the nickel as far as visibility then? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 10/30/2017 9:41 pm Here is a photo of a 47 "Dot" Quarter. I rotated it and sized it the same as your photo for comparison. As you can see, your quarter shows nothing in the right area. Report this Post to the Staff
