Charlton 2011 lists 3 varieties of the '48 cent: 'A' to SDe, to LDe, and between LDe. I am having a great deal of difficulty locating, or maybe, it's identifying the 'A' to Sde. Any pointers or tips. Thanks

They identify 3 types as you mentioned.1 is "A" to a small denticules on a coin with 129 denticules as opposed to 2 which is still 129 denticules but they are smaller.The picture on page 58 shows the difference.The third type is between and always to large denticules

It appears from coins that I have seen under high magnification that once they are below at least AU, that it is very difficult to tell the difference. I have been in touch with one dealer who has quite a few '48's and he can't discernatively see a difference. Perhaps he doesn't have a SDe but I don't see anybody identifiying one an ebay either. The 'trends' in CCN doesn't mention them? |

A far more experienced collector than me has put it this way:
The "I" in Gratia will slide in between the small denticles.
The pics in Charlton show this quite well. (there is no room for the "I" to fit in between the large denticles.)

Pennylover - thanks for the information. I went back to Charlton and examined the picture and I see what you mean. I think I found one with the SDe on e-bay and picked it up for a few bucks. I'll advise when it gets here.

I talked to a TPG and was told that they are extremely rare.Very few were ever graded |

My 1948 cent (MS62) purchased off ebay came today and it is the 'A' to SDe version. I really lucked out on this one thanks to the information I got from Pennylover. |

I haven't had luck finding this variety either. I bought what I thought was a SDe on ebay a few months ago, but it turned out to be LDe. (Paid full trend for it!) |

Hello everyone. I am new here and noticed alot of conversation on the 1948 and 1949 1 cents. Both come in two varieties "A to denticle" and "A off denticle" To confirm that you have an "A to denticle" there are a number of things to look at: 1 - The A in the word Gratia points directly at the denticle 2 - The I in dei is flared looking like a proper capital I, as well it will point between the denticals 3 - If you look at the HP initials under the head the H will also be flared "A off denticle" 1 - The A in Gratia points between the denticles 2 - The I in dei is straight and points directly to the denticle 3 - The H in HP is not flared ***Edited by Staff - Please Review the rules that you agreed to when you registered. *** |

I have not yet seen the Charlton cat for 2011. Is there any way you can the pictures of the varieties and post them please. Also what is the aprox value of the new 3rd variety in relation to the other 2?
I have about 400 1948 cents and I have them separated into both varieties. I guess I will have to reexamine all again. AAAh

My earlier post is a picture of two 1948's I have . A to Sde & A to Lde. I also have the A between Lde. The A to Sde is by far the harder one to find & worth the most.

I have searched about 6 rolls of the 1948 A points and so far I have found 12 of the scarce variety. I will post some scans later on so they can be verified.
