Possible copper-plating bubble,
or a 'hit', but tough to know for
sure from your photo.

Cant be one copper plating bubble that's the centre point and a precise dot mark there has to be something behind it.

OK, then it's a 'hit.

See the whitish area around the outside
of the 'Dot'.

And what might that be?

Whitish area, I think the first (Dot 1) and the middle one (Dot 2) gives the same effect.

It is probably NOT a raised, mint-made dot BUT it sure looks like one and it is perfectly centered to make a triangle. Have someone look at it for you as pictures are not good enough. It will not be the first time a coin has had a "perfect" dot placed on the die for some reason.

Random planchet bubbles and/or random hits can occur at (drum roll) RANDOM PLACES! If that random place happens to be someplace geometrically interesting, we call that a (rim shot) COINCIDENCE!

We'll see.

An observation.

The “ES” and “o” above and to the right of the suspect top dot. Looks possibly like grease filled die.

Cent is corroding from the inside?

Let's discuss about the Mysterious dot mark.. If you got information details do share!

Ask Fred Weinberg. He is the expert. Read his signature line or goog him.

I just made an observation on what looks like die filled grease on the letters.

Picture quality not that good yeah, I tried clicking a few more if you can see them above..

Use florescent light to remove the glare!

Looks like either a plating bubble or a die chip in a very opportune spot....Cheers, RickO
