      General Notes: Among circulation strikes, relatively few, perhaps 10%, are of the Reverse of 1938, with indistinct lettering with perhaps 1 in 1,000 having 5 Full Steps (see Nagengast). The rest are with the Reverse of 1940 with sharper details in the hub and master die. The vast majority of Proofs are with the Reverse of 1938 with somewhat indistinct areas to the steps. Relatively few Reverse of 1940 coins exist (including a remarkable cache of 30 in the 1985 Bowers and Merena sale of the Abe Kosoff estate), but most have 6 Full Steps.
