M3S 20 CENTS "DOT" DIE GOUGE ERROR

Malaysia 3rd Series 2014 20 Cents With "Dot" Die Gouge Error.
Rarity:RR
Die gouges (or dents) are common on coins and like finding angels in the clouds, you will find them where you want if you look long enough.

These are raised thick bulges, usually on the fields of a struck coin (although they may occasionally be seen on the design), which are created by the striking of a hard object against the die.
A "DOT" or "DOTS" on a coin actually is a Die Gouge Error coin. Die Gouge Error is a form of die error when the hammer die struck through a small round object on the bottom die during the striking , thus creating a hole. This hole, which is an incused element on the die will result in a raised element on the subsequent coins came into the minting press. It was started as a tiny gouge on the working die but it was not rectify.The continuous usage of the die with die gouges formed dots on the coins.The "DOTS" enlarged and became bigger and bigger until it can be seen with a naked eyes.
A Malaysia (M3S) 2014 20 Cents exhibited a "Dot" on a petal of the hibiscus flower at the 4 o'clock position on the reverse.
