Can someone tell me the difference in the "reverse of 38 and reverse of 40"? Thanks

Very recently keets posted
excellent
images of the characteristic trait of these reverses. You will have to use the search feature for this information, though, because I do not have it in-hand. If I recall correctly, I was quite impressed.

There are two types of 1939 reverse designs from the original 1938 initial mint designs.
Type I - on either side of the steps there is no verticle bars encasing the steps
Type II - the steps are encased with verticle bars to deliniate the steps.
The 1939 type II carries onto the the 1940 mints
Hope this helps a tad, I will look for some pictures...maybe
The type I, the steps just run to the end and stop, no verticle bar to encase steps
looking for picture of a 1938 reverse.
