Hello I have this 1965 dime with a dot under the 5. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Have you seen this variety before? Do you know the value? Is it rare? Thanks  |

It's a small die chip.
I'm afraid to say that most of value with your coin is in its silver content.
I suppose you may find someone to pay an extra buck or so because of the chip however that's about it.
Sorry.

Mint state versions usually get a very slight premium...

Thanks for your input Just saying I sold it on ebay today for $51.00. A little more than a slight premium I would say |

 It's your lucky day, usually these fortunately located die chips only sell for a few bucks. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

That's really good, am surprised seeing experts said it was worth a very slight premium. Good job!

It would have all depended upon the description and the photos. Add 2 people that don't know what a genuine error is and there you have it. Maybe our old friend Dean (the "dot" man) bought it and a new thread will start.

I have sold mint state versions of these coins (MS-60 to MS-63) for $15 each, when I used to have a table at Nuphilex. Whomever bought that coin, got into a bidding war with another collector... the winner will never get any return on their purchase. Just because it sold for that price, does not make it valuable or rare. Here is another one - you can buy for $8 https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1965-Coin-M...401646025286?

Very lucky to have received so much for it, I've also sold a few of these circulated for $5-10 and a few mint state ones for about $20 seems like just a cheap curiosity. This seems to be the way with well placed die chips like this, I had a similar situation with a 1948 "crying 8" where 2 sold for around $10 and one sold for 5 times that amount all in the same condition and month.

It's so fascinating how different countries put value to certain errors or varieties. I guess Canadian coin collectors put more value to doubled die strikes like the US does. The UK Doubled die strikes are so common on pre-decimal coins they have absolutely no premium at all. But if the coin has an overdate or a wrongly punched letter over another or even as in this topic a die flaw or Dot it can add £100's and sometimes £1000's to the coins value As our 1897 dot after O in ONE the standard strike is booked @ £60 UNC but if it is the DOT variety the book price in EF is £900. 1946 dot after E of ONE £350 in EF 1909 dot after N in ONE £200 in Fine. If your coin was a British coin it would be worth a tidy sum.I collect errors and varieties and have picked up a few nice very rare examples . A great hobby whatever floats your boat :D
