  Crosslet 4:
  
  
  
  Plain 4:
  
  
  
  Note the difference at the far right side of the "4". One has a little crosslet running perpendicular to the line.
  
  Stem:
  
  
  
  Stemless:
  
  
  
  Look at the area below the wreath; one type has a pair of stems jutting out toward the legend, while the other does not.

  Plain..no stems. I guess it was a good buy though at $45.00. Thanks for the replies everyone you folks are the greatest!!!!
