<p>[QUOTE="coloradobryan, post: 2454308, member: 74172"]It took me nearly two years to complete my set completely from circulation. 38-s and 50-d were the hardest with two each. One easy way to tell the reverse of 38 from the reverse of 40 on circulated 39s is to look at the S in pluribus. The steps won't help you because they are worn off most circulated 39s. On the Rev of 38 the S will be rounded at the top, and on the Rev of 40 it will have a clear serif. As all 40s are the reverse of 40 (except the one proof die that is the Rev of 38) use one as a guide to compare to any 38 you have handy to see the difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
