Hello all
I'm very new to coin collecting and it's my frst day as a member here so I will apologize in advance if my information and terminology is lacking. I have a question about a 1956 Lincoln Wheat Penny that I found that has a dot on the tip of the 9 on the date. I researched quite a bit and the closest information that I have found is located on this forum here: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/OMMS/1956wdmm1.html although it doesn't speak of a dot but rather an S mint mark.
I have taken some pictures of the penny and placed them on Photobucket and can be found here:




I'm not sure if this dot is a fake, ding or an error so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
