It's nice to see that difference!  Is this a '48...or '49? If you can spot a '48 "A to denticles", you can tell the '49 (the scarce one).

Cool that you found 2!  They are usually pretty hard to get.

Obverse; last A in GRATIA points directly at a denticle.

Here are a few attribution diagrams and close-up pics of the difference between "A to denticles" (high relief) and off-denticle (low relief). First, an "A to denticles" closeup:  At this point I can eyeball this coin without lines. But, as a confirmation here's the attribution guide in Pierre Charest's book where high relief = A to denticle. Note here how the "A" to denticle aligns just slightly right of center. I think that has contributed to some confusion in attribution.  I think all good attributions should be compared to a control sample (negative). So here is the '49 off-denticle. Compare this the guide above (labeled "low relief"):  For '49, those are the two obverse die varieties.

talk about the 1965 penny I did find one more thing about them and yes you can spot it to!we know how to find the small beads to large beads now to spot the point 5 it is looking at the 6 that gives it away.the 6 if you draw a line it goes on the outside of the bottom loop on the point 5 by top point of the 6.the blunt 5 the line goes to the inside of the 6.i found 2 point 5 like this

Woo Hoo just found an A to denticles '48!(EF? but dirty in the little nooks) This is my very first confirmed find of any type! I had an 2008 cent the other day that had a die crack?above the 8 in 2008 but lost it in the mass of pennies heh heh. Tommorrow will bring 1000 pennies from my bartender buddy that should be fun!
