My Mood:
I should be getting some photos that show these differenets here shortly....but for the time being..

The steps.
In 1938 the design that they picked had weak, wavy steps. The mint decided to redo it and make the porch thicker, and the steps sharply defined.

Once you look at a few, you should be able to pick out what ones have the sharper steps...those would be the 40. The weaker 38 steps sometimes don't go all the way over, and some go farther than others....like I said...just check out a few and I'm sure you will note the differents.
