Just because nobody has found it under imperfect circumstances does not mean that they were not looking. If they were looking it implies a lot of people were thinking there might be more. As a question to you I would ask if you have ever looked? You can provide a heck of a lot of details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t check their pocket change for 1913 Liberty Head nickels either. But you do you, by all means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldhoopster Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Nice try but you would have better luck with winning the lotto than finding one of these. All known examples are Specimen strikes, strongly indicating they were not released for circulation. Did you compare your coin to known examples. If you did you would see that the stray mark on your coin is too close to the date. Its also the wrong size and shape. If you still think you have something, you'll need to send it in for authentication as I believe your opinion will be met with the same skepticism by dealers and Canadian coin experts.

Mr.Bill347 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 They are distinguished from the millions of other 1936 pennies minted in the final year of King George V's reign by the miniscule dot placed below the date on the “tails” side of the coin.Apr 19, 2013 David Vagi says: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I see a raised dot in approximately the correct location, but the coin has a number of other raised dots and lumps beneath the date from corrosion or foreign matter. I understand that the three known specimens all came from cased sets obtained from the Royal Canadian Mint. If Kevine84 believes he has discovered a circulated specimen, he should submit it to NGC or PCGS. He should discuss it with them first, as the grading fee for a genuine piece would be quite high. If it is authenticated, it would be big news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
