<p>[QUOTE="coloradobryan, post: 2655805, member: 74172"]38-d was my last one, and it took me over a year of searching LOTS of boxes to find it. Ended up being in a monster box with two 38-d, and two 39-s, five war nickels and five buffalo. It was around AU-50, and well struck too, so added bonus. Don't forget to collect one of each hub for 1939 from each of the mints too to make it complete. Easy way to tell the reverse of 38 from the reverse of 40 is not the steps, since they are likely worn off of circulation finds, is to look at the last S of States. On the reverse of 38, the top of the S will curve down without a serif, sort of like the S on the screen here. On the reverse of 40, it will have a serif. Check out the photos on PCGS Coinfacts to see what I'm talking about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
