[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 370282, member: 705"]No he doesn't.... While I see what the OP is talking about I don't think that this is a 40/39. What looks like the bottom of the is under the 0.....that would be a 9 not a 3. Then again, maybe I'm missing something. I'm not totally sure about how all of the die making and such work---I've read some about it but it is a really large subject that would take years to really understand....so take this for what its worth..... I wouldn't doubt that the 40 would look newer. The master die would be made and re-worked each year with a new date...since the first two numbers didn't need changing I would say that sometimes if they weren't in bad shape they just left them and fixed the last two numbers. I'll try to check out some more of my data around here and see if there is any talk about this date... Speedy[/QUOTE]
