1964 Canada $ w/dot question

coinvac41

I have a question about the 1964 Charlottetown Canadian dollar. Somewhere I read
about these coins with and without dot. Where on the coin is this dot located? Does
the dot affect the value? Did they occur in the sets as well as the singles in the pliofilm?
Thanks for any info you can provide.

I find no mention of a 1964 Canada Charlottetown dollar with a dot in either Krause or "Coins of Canada" by Haxby & Willey.

Maybe someone with another Canadian book?

The only Canada coin with and without a dot I am aware of is the 1936 one cent piece.

Neither Charlton nor Dushnick make any mention of a "dot" variety for 1964. The only variety I've read about is the pattern variety. The reverse shows high relief and long, thin denticles. The few thousand that were originally struck were supposed to have been melted.

For a photo, see Dushnick's Silver & Nickel Dollars of Canada, page 78.

The "with dot" has the dot after the T in the modeller Thomas Shingles's initials: T.S.

"Without dot" is missing this dot: T S.



Edited to identify the correct missing dot.
