Thanks Dave Attached Thumbnails     01-28-2009, 11:18 PM   #2 (permalink) borgovan Supporter**   Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Michigan Posts: 1,356 Looks like Reverse of 1940 to me. You can tell because of the thicker top step (about twice as thick as the other steps), and the fact that the steps are so well-defined.   01-28-2009, 11:19 PM   #3 (permalink) EdsCoin Senior Member     Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Alabama Posts: 321 Looks like 40 rev. __________________ Ed   01-28-2009, 11:27 PM   #4 (permalink) Digenes Just a collector   Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: South Central, PA Posts: 312 Thanks all, really appreciate it. Another day, and something new learned, so wasn't a total loss today after all.
