Well I was finally able to add some still shots of the penny and I'd have to stay over all these are at the best pics I could provide but there it is! So what you talkin bout Willis ?

 

that black you see that takes a quarter or half the. Is because it got scratched in circulation but regardless it's there.I will post the authentication of it regardless of the out come in a Month.Thank you all 4 your inputs.Tty soon!

 

A couple decent shots in there and I see what you are seeing, but as noted by others, the placement is incorrect. Interesting how there 'appears' to be a secondary dot to the right of the first, but it isn't in the correct spot either. Both appear to be equally shifted to the NW of where the dot would be expected to be. It's also a micro-dot on your coin, perhaps only half of the expected size. It's the kind of coin I would put in a flip and hang onto on the odd chance that new information comes along.

I found a 1939 Jefferson nickel...beat looking...worn out, washed out, and damaged on the rim from a coin counter. I recall the moment I saw it amongst the rest of the nickels from the roll I was searching. My tendency is to keep all pre-1960 Jeffersons unless they are damaged, very dirty, worn out. But I kept this one for some reason...probably since I was working on building a roll of '39s with the '38 Reverse. That nickel sat in the bucket for at least 2 years. At some point, I started to read up on the Henning nickel due to a post I saw on the internet. I went through that bucket...sorted by date/mm and put all the Henning dates into their separate piles. I worked from most recent to oldest dates known for Hennings. I weighed the coins...since this was given as a key diagnostic. All were within spec's. I set them aside. I started looking for the loop in the R...none had them. I set them aside again. Then I read that there were other reverse dies used, some/one didn't have the loop in the R. I went through them all again. On the 3rd to last 1939, I found my Henning nickel. When I think of all the chances I had to release that coin, I shudder a bit. But I hung onto it...obviously for the better. That last little tidbit of information came late, but proved to be the differentiator. Make sure that when you have doubts, you exhaust all leads. We are here to give you our best assessments, but ultimately, for the price of a penny, separating that coin from the bulk and making notes on a flip might be the most prudent thing for you to do. It may help you sleep better.

 

Everything you said is very interesting and I appreciate the inside a lot I know this coin that I found in circulation 10 years ago. I barely learned about the history of the coin. I have a quiet large collection of very interesting coins but this one's at the top. I forgot to mention beforehand but you happen to catch that too as far as the second. On the right the coin really does have me Ponder and looking for new information but long story short I'm going to take it in to PCGS. I appreciate here advice and opinion on it a lot

 

Looks like they are caused by whatever formed similar entities such as the ones near the bottom of the 9 and other areas on the coin. I do feel it is perhaps a worn pitted die , corrosion or both. IMO, Jim

 

As everyone else has already said, @Keith Iwan Bowles, your coin isn't a dot cent. No matter how many poorly taken photos you post, our answer will always be the same. If you don't believe us, PCGS will confirm it is not the rarity you claim it to be.

 

Thank you for your input.

 

I was definitely thinking the same thing on that. What I do know and can tell you for sure is with my own eyes I noticed that the. Is scratched or damaged that's why it's so hard to identify it.
