<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 1091443, member: 23692&quot;]The dot will be in relief (raised), similar to the rest of the design of the coin.&nbsp; There have been many many fakes produced of this coin because of its rarity .. as well as because of its questionable &quot;official&quot; origin.&nbsp; There are many stories about the various Pittman coins coming out the back door of the Mint under cover of darkness.... none of the stories have been absolutely proved or disproved.&nbsp; Fakes of all the &quot;dot&quot; coins have been going on since the late 1930&#039;s right up until now, and I&#039;m not talking about Chinese fakes or copies but rather contemporary ones.&nbsp; All it takes is careful affixing a dot in the right place with heat, electric or other means but the shape/placement of the dot is the way to tell .. but you are going to need an expert to do that (unless the dots are oblong, unfinished, or with burrs.&nbsp; Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
