This is an 'A to denticle.'

7MT1S...Sorry, in my opinion it is NOT and "A" to denticle.

It is harder when there is wear on both the A and the denticle. If both were complete I think this would look even more like an A to denticle.
Wert, while your lines don't seem to line up with the denticle, I don't think they are consistent with the usual A off denticle. As a comparison it would be interesting to put your pointer lines on a nice MS A off denticle.

Smallcentguy....It is the quickest way for me to use this method...It works for me as you can see using doctorman1941 coin below.

It works great on the Doctorman coin. But to be fair on a high grade coin it is pretty obvious stand alone.
My question on the analysis of the off denticle coin is because my sense is that an off denticle coin analyzed by your method should point left, whereas on 7MT1S's coin it points to the right. So I am wondering if this is due to variation caused by the wear.

 I searched this topic and found an earlier post that suggested if the A is to the denticle, then a line drawn on the A intersects the denticle as above. Opinions? I appreciate the input - it is a learning curve for me.  |

OK, I am thinking that I need an eye check or a memory check. The photo immediately above clearly looks off the denticle to me. If you imagine you are holding the coin with the A upright the apex of the A points to the left of the denticle as I would expect. I think the angle of the coin in the first photo played a trick on me.

7MT1S..My method is simple...maybe not the best but is simple...if you run a line along the "A" like I have shown and if they point between a denticle, then your coin is "between denticles"....And if they point to a denticle then your "A" is pointing at a denticle..
Look at the picture above your last picture.

In my opinion...it is a 1949 A Off Denticle. I rotated your pic as for me...it is always easier to tell when viewing the "A" in aprox the 12 o'clock position. I believe your coin points between the denticles. I included pics showing "A" position in relation to the denticle for the 1949's as well.
