JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21633 Posts	Posted 08/03/2022 10:14 am The difference between a 1939 and 1940 reverse is in the steps I don't know how you can tell the difference when the steps are so worn, I know I can't. Correct spelling Edited by JimmyD 08/03/2022 10:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 08/03/2022 11:39 am Looks to be the 1940 reverse. The serif on the "S" in Pluribus is a defining attribute - the 1938 reverse doesn't have that. Agreed that the steps can't be used in this case to confirm.

Newbcoiner Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 08/03/2022 12:32 pm So I came across the 1938 with the 1940 reverse, and matched the Monticello's the O's e's AND THE Ce showed the doubling super close, I also matched the roof design tho worn like you folks said but matched the photos with the doubling in certain letters of Monticello.... It's how 8 came up with the title. Report this Post to the Staff
