<p>[QUOTE="coloradobryan, post: 3937524, member: 74172"]Just to give everyone a tip on the two reverse hubs of 39 if you havent noticed before. On the reverse of 38, the last letter of Pluribus, the S, has no serif. On the reverse of 40, it has a serif at the top closest to the rim. Even on coins of very low grade it can be seen. I made my observation from multiple examples of each reverse graded by PCGS in high grade plus proofs of both reverses and compared to examples from both 1938, which can only be the reverse of 38, and 1940, which can only be from the reverse of 1940 with the exception of the rare reverse of 38 proof. There are some other minor differences, but the serif or lack of serif and the step detail in high grade examples is the defining differences. If someone can take detailed photos of the S on both reverses and post them, i believe it would be helpful to the group.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
