Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 07/07/2018 5:35 pm Definitely a master die issue. If you look at PCGS images of 1949 cents they all have that. There are no known DDOs for 1949 Philly cents. Report this Post to the Staff

If on the master hub, then would show on all dies. A few DDO's listed, Without full image, I can't add much more than that. Thanks, Doug. Image from coops library.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 07/08/2018 01:37 am Not a master die issue, quite an obvious contact mark damage . Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4406 Posts	Posted 07/08/2018 11:18 am Coop... Chase...? There's a notch at the top right and the bottom right of the 1. Every 1949 cent has it. I don't think every 1949 cent has a contact mark in the same spot. Report this Post to the Staff
