<p>[QUOTE="toddestan, post: 157991, member: 6366"]A bit more trivia: In 1956, one of the dies used to strike the ten cent coins was damaged, and this resulted in a dot appearing below the 9 and 5 in the date. Due to the location of the dot, this error looked like it was done intentionally by the Canadian mint, and many collectors include this variety in their collections (much like the 1942/1941 US Mercury dime). </p><p><br /></p><p>First post by the way <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (been lurking a while though!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
