Die Notes
A 1949 “Blunt 4” date is hubbed over a 1948 “Pointed 4” date. Doubling shows on the 194. This die is very similar to 1949S-1DO-001 except for two main points. The doubling of the 19 of the date are less prevalent and the mintmark is in a slightly different position. On this die the mintmark sits slightly lower and to the east of 1949S-1DO-001.
