That is the most descriptive title I've ever seen! No bids! I might just "steal" this auction for a cool thousand!
He certified it himself? That is top-notch in my book.

AND WHO EVER HEARD OF A DOT ON A COIN?
IT'S ONE OF A KIND!

Well by area, if that dot can go for 10000x the face value, what would mine be?

This "error" is at least 5x the size of that puny little dot!

According to our little "expert" on ebay, that would make yours worth...$5000!

Well...as a bit of explanation.
Canada's coinage has a history of special die markers, which often were dots signifying a unique die.
The 1936 dot cent is a sough-after rarity, as is the 1936 dot 25c, the 1947 dot 25c, '47 dot 5c, and especially the '36 dot 10c (last sale over $100K). With that numismatic history, I can understand why people look for these dots (and overreact), even if they're common die gouges.
