Sorry Steve but I don't think so.
If you look at the area above the top scroll you should see a huge dot such as on Ford's coin. You also should see that blob at the top of the first A of AUSTRALIA.
You should compare the position of your bottom dot with that of Ford's coin as well.

Oh well I did find 1 double dot 1919 in the bulk last week but the dots on this one were a bit different

I actually sold one on ebay a couple of weeks ago that I noodled from a bulk lot and only got about $50 from memory so maybe I should have kept it.I'll definitely be keeping any more that I find

I'm a bit worried about this listing,Monetarium are usually OK but i think they made a big mistake with this coin.

This is one I recently put up on another thread. Notice the small cud on the right side rim of "O" in OF. All 1919 double dots I've seen have had it.
