<p>[QUOTE="Bradley Trotter, post: 5333639, member: 101226"]From what I understand, the 1936 Dot cents were struck as both business strikes and specimen strikes. However, due to the royal transition following the death of George V and Edward VIII's abdication, the Royal Canadian Mint actually struck the dot cents in 1937 as a stopgap measure since there were no dies depicting George VI. The RCM reported that 678,823 dot cents were struck; nonetheless, it would seem that all of the business strikes were melted down by the RCM. As a result, all of the known examples of the dot cent are specimen strikes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
