wolf-n-wa Pillar of the Community United States 602 Posts	Posted 01/12/2011 8:50 pm Whats the story on this? The first A in gratia pointed at the A rather than in between is worth more? Please explain to this Yank. WOLF Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 01/12/2011 10:42 pm A points to denticle is also known as high relief obverse.A points between denticles is low relief obverse.At the time the mint was changing from high relief to low relief to extend die life.The '49 high relief is worth more simply because it's less common.

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24154 Posts	Posted 01/13/2011 10:45 am Hey DVC, do you have a photo like that of the other one? And the 48s? And if you do, can I ~~steal~~ ~~borrow~~ use them permanently on the site? Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 01/13/2011 1:37 pm Bobby, you're welcome to use this pic. I have not photographed the other obverse variety for '49 or 48. I'm not sure I even own them--I only go after the good ones. Report this Post to the Staff
