Even if am from Canada I have lots of US coins to go through. IF you look on the reverse side and denomination. Between the second L and the A in DOLLAR, it is not indented. There is a nice dot, I didn't find any attribution.

A small die chip or maybe a die hardness test. Not of great interest in the U.S. market.

"I can see a small crack facing south."
Might be a good indicator that it is just a die chip.

If I remember correctly, the dots used in Canadian coinage indicate an intentional variety like the 1936 dot penny...
The varieties are noteworthy and often more valuable than other coinage so I certainly understand the question...

Interesting.
Die defect, or clad defect? I wonder.
I notice that the Dot does not have a completed dome. With magnification, I can see a small crack facing south.
In general, are Dots considered an error on US coins?
You are correct it converges to this. A+
Very good link, I just saw a 1933 Royal mint Penny. Six or seven examples of the circulating design are known altogether, and each time an example is offered at auction the rarity is a highlight of that sale.
Tomorrow I am going to buy a few Royal Mints Penny. Cross my finger to have a 1933...
