Hi Danit,

The builds are not expected to have the same sequence at the exact same 
coordinates.  The hg19 build is newer than the hg18 build.  There are 
links to much more information on both builds on the gateway page of the 
Genome Browser:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgGateway
(select either assembly and scroll down)

For your SNP, you will need to find out which build coordinates were 
used to find/report the SNP.

I hope this is helpful.  If you have further questions, please send them 
to [email protected].
