    Flame dot line? If you mean the denticles that are missing on the 1946 - the coin was struck slightly off center. It is likely does not add much, if any, premium to the value.

    The missing and indistinct denticles is most likely the result of die deterioration. A less likely possibility is an accumulation of grease or oil along the perimeter of the die.

    It seems to be pretty common, in my experience.
