cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 06/02/2012 10:59 pm What you want to check for with the 1949's is the A to Denticle and the A off Denticle. Here is what to look for: You want to look at the last "A" in "GRATIA" and compare it to the pics below: "A" To Denticle "A" Off Denticle The "A" To Denticle is the rarer of the two and holds a decent premium...especially in higher grades. Nice looking cents. Report this Post to the Staff
cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 06/02/2012 11:01 pm As for the dot behind the head. I have not seen that before. It could be something as simple as a die chip. Neat that you have 7 examples of it in the roll. We will wait for some of the experts to chime in and see what they have to say. Report this Post to the Staff
