thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 12/11/2019 12:46 am The 1947 dot coins are quite popular..with much discussion about them and their originins. The 1947 dot dollar is a product of a pitted specimen die. I'm happy PCGS took trueviews that happened to show the dots on this piece so well..every little spot you see is a die pitting dot around the size of the one seen on the 1947 for dollars..this coin is PCGS SP66, from the Pittman Collection..with a heavy lacquer which was applied by the mint. The line you see by the date is a piece of lint which actually got stuck in the lacquer leaving an impression..this occurrence is common and doesn't hurt the eye appeal or grade Feel free to call me Will.
