Can you spot the valuable coin?

Hi everyone it’s been awhile

I found this and I have no idea if the person realizes how valuable it is..

Sadly...I was too late to purchase.
The chances of actually finding this coin are astronomical!!!

For those of us who don't collect World Coins, would you mind explaining why one of these is so valuable and which one it is?

 

A 1936 dot cent?The last one i remember sold for $253,000.

 

I don't see the necessary 'dot' on the cent. Sorry.

nor do I

 

yes, you are correct. I should have put my glasses on . An here I thought I found one lol

 

it was the 1936 dot penny. Though I should have put my glasses on to get a closer look..lol

 

Between not wearing my glasses enough and frequently being undercaffeinated I have general rule...no buying/bidding before 10 am And only if the caffeine problem at least has been rectified. Speaking of which, time for my second cup.

 

Maybe these will help...

 

Perfect, they just might fit..lol

 

Yes, glasses then coffee..

 

Dang, I need to go thru my Canadian cents.

 

LOL. The difference between a Dot and Not . $253,000 !

 

It's not the famous Canadian 1936 dot cent. The dot is in the wrong place

 

They were made in secret by the Mint and given/sold to one person. They were never in circulation and all that have been found are from one person/estate so the chance of ever finding one are nil or worse.

 

Enjoyed the post R_rabbit. Thanks for the update Bill in Burl. Be safe

 

Well, we had a mighty drum rattle...but no rim shot.
Still a very informative thread, and kudos to @Mr. Flute for the link to the PCGS article. However, I have a question about the article. The author, Joshua Hernandez, also has done tons of work for the funtimesguide.com, and is generally very accurate and comprehensive with his subjects.

In this article for PCGS, he mentions John Jay, and then drops a “Pittman’s death” reference with no previous mention...who is this Pittman guy?

In the meantime, I’ll be doing some research and checking my ‘36 Canadian cents...(not holding my breath)... @Bill in Burl ...jmho...Spark

 

Take the glasses off and keep dreaming happy thoughts!!

 

Here's an old article. The only dot cents ever found seemingly went out of the Mint's back door:

I have a damaged 1936 canada ten cent in my collection and I keep it just in case I'm seeing a 'dot' as opposed to the more likely just weird toning in that area of the coin.
