1964 Canada Dollar "Missing Dot"??

I have an ICCS certified dollar, MS-62, which says on the insert that it is a "missing dot" variety. What is that supposed to mean?? I can't even find anything like it mentioned in Charleton. I also have a mint set from the same year and that dollar looks exactly the same. I see no dots on the obverse, and two on the reverse, on both sides of Quebec, separating it from Charlottetown. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Thanks!

    Sorry Jester, but Krause makes no mention of it. Nice coin though, could you post a pic?

    Figured it out!!! There's a dot missing on the initial T of T.S. just above the C in Quebec on the reverse.

    I've seen that coin, and I feel compelled to say the toning is more interesting than the image might lead you to believe. (sorry Jester not dissing your photog skills) It would be a very hard coin to capture. Don't get me wrong, it's not a "monster" but, I very much like the toning and find it interesting.

    Fancy you showing up here, Colonel!! image

    Indeed, the colors are much deeper on the coin, but I feel the overall look is rather subdued and dull in fact. However, it's a beautiful coin, just not the vibrant and deep colors I'm used to on most Canadian coins.

    Thanks for the nice coins, Clank!! Sorry my scanner can't do them justice.
