Thanks! Just a regular 40w bulb in an old Japanese articulating clip on lamp I found in the trash when I was stationed in Japan. I move it pretty close and angle it until I'm not getting a lot of glare.

Canadian cents are the most active in my corner. I have all the lincolns, (that I can afford. No 1090-S VDB), so I went to the FE/IHC area. I have a package that will be here shortly, with about 18 IHC, and 30-some-odd rolls of Canadian cents. There is a 1925 (AU) in the batch. Also working on my "Vickys". Hust getting staarted with them, and I will have my work cut out for me, I believe. The '59, I was checking has three things, so far on it. and thet was just on the SE quadrant of the coin.
Ken, I forgot to mention, I like the "minnow" you have.

I wouldn't "hold my breath", until I found a '36 DOT. I believe there are two , maybe three known.....

My clipped cent is a 1981 and it's about as severe as Smed's is. That is to say, not very severe at all. Althought it's small, I think it's "good sized" for Canadian cents. They don't seem to have as many errors as American cents do.

And as for the 1936 dot, that's one of the great rarities in Canadian coins. If you find one, that would be amazing.

Try $250,000.00!
At that price, I will take a dozen, while they are on sale....
