1840 Date varieties

ST 1840 B - 0 over 0

ST 1840 C

I have noticed three minor variations to the 1840 date.

I have used the 1840 A pictures as possibly the norm.

1840 A - The 18 & 40 are in a straight baseline alignment.

1840 B - The 40 is below the baseline alignment and the 0 is over an 0

              A bit shows on the inside right edge.     

1840 C - The '40' are out of alignment with the '18'. The 4 & 0 are lower.

              The 0 is lower and tilts slightly backwards. Notice the alignment with the

              wreath leaf to the left of the 0. On 1840 A the 0 is aligned between two leaves.

              The '4' is slightly higher than the '0' but still just below the alignment of the 

              4 of the norm. The '4' also tilts backwards - very slightly.
