Hi my son bought me this coin microscope for my birthday yesterday and when i put my 1936 penny under it i see this is this what i think it is ???? how do i down load pic here ?

It's not a "dot". It's in the wrong place and wrong size.

[nobodyimportant]

All dots under the date on the 1936 coins, with the exception on the 25 cent piece *dot in wreath opening* are in the wrong place.

[nobodyimportant]

The 1936 1 cent and dollar piece, do have a dot on the obverse. The dot proper is on the effigy of the King.
Multiples of examples have been found.
The 1936 10 cent, does have a dot in the surrounding wreath on the reverse, to the left of the date. 1st presented to the hobby by Hans Zoell. Who exactly 1st discovered this, is an unknown to myself.
But it is an undeniable truth, it was discovered, is was presented in Hans Zoell's tireless works and it is obtainable to this day, simply for the fact that many in the hobby are far too incapable of understanding reality!

Unfortunately and Obviously, people being people, will take the shortest route possible to any end--point.
I only have one interest with the public side of this great hobby, and that is the furtherance of the hobby proper.
I am disappointed that some do nothing more than repeat unfounded, tales of pure fantasy, without placing any effort forward to determine their worth.
This is Canada, and it is far past time that we take back "our" hobby of coin collecting from those who cannot make a name for themselves in their own Country of origin !

In response to the original post in this thread.
Nice pictures, possibly your heart skipped a beat when you obtained the images you did, thank you for sharing!
Look on the front *obverse* of your coin, should there be a perfectly centered dot, behind and slightly lower than the ear on the King's neck, you will be happy to know you have a Genuine 1936 dot 1 cent coin.

[Bill in Burl]

Please do not place roses in the eyes of the original poster. His coin IS NOT the accepted 1936 dot cent. It is smaller and in the wrong place in both the horizonal and vertical dimension. If you were making a joke, then fine, but don't accentuate the OP's dreams.

Bill buddy,
You have been an advocate for the uninformed and lost for some time.
Your insights on tangible and known to your subjects have done well.
I beseech you not to pretend and over step your limitations on this matter.
Why undo all that you have properly achieved, over a subject you know nothing about?

[nobodyimportant]

You have done great things with your interests in 1800's coins.
Do leave the finer details of the 1936 coins to those who have put in the time and effort towards same.

[nobodyimportant]

However,
Should you be absolutely sure you want to persue your unsubstantiated views and beliefs imposed incorrectly on the hobby.
I will challenge you every step of the way, with facts, not myths and fiction !
Your choice.

[nobodyimportant]

For the recorded record.
I don't have a problem of any kind with the ignorant.
I actually pity them !

[nobodyimportant]

Okay, let's try this.
Repeating unfounded decades of lies and falsehoods about 1936cdot coins, does not serve the integrity of the hobby.
Simple, isn't it!
It also doesn't serve to reinforce the legitimate efforts placed forward by some.

Bill buddy,
I'll play with U for as long as this forum and its creators allow me to.
I more enjoy the civility of the French side to this site, hands down.
On the English side, you have been center stage, guessing some don't really care for your candour, while others are indifferent to same.
Not trying to reduce or take away your achievements made.
This is a Great Forum for collectors, its far better than most others.
Should i be kicked off, before I've started.
So be it !

[nobodyimportant]

So,
A Yank, just so happens to come into possession of the only known 8, no wait check that 3 known examples of a dot 1936 1 cent coin.
See a problem?
Wake up !
This particular Yank (not Canadian) passes himself off as a "Railroad Tycoon " for a long defunct "Railroad Line"
See a problem?
Ever heard tell of a "Grifter"?

[Bill in Burl]

Yes, I've certainly heard of grifting and grifters. I hold them in the same esteem as people who bad-mouth accepted facts and research in Canadian numismatics. I prefer to answer questions with facts on internet coin sites and nothing more.
