1874 Different styles of 4

   

 ST 1874 A - Slant-up tail 4

 ST 1874 C - T-bar tail 4

   

   

ST 1874 D - Worn T-bar

ST 1874 D

 ST 1874 A - Slant-up tail 4

ST 1874 A - Date: The 4 has a slant-up tail - Easier example to find.

ST 1874 C - Date: The 4 has a T-bar tail - Less common.

ST 1874 D - Date: The 4 has a T-bar tail but the lower half of the T now has a 

                  hair-thin line, possibly due to die wear. This fine line could eventually

                  eventually disappear all together. This 4 could NOT be a slant-up tail 4

                  with a die crack ! As the top part of the T-bar has all the characteristics

                  of the T-bar 4 and not of the rounded slant-up tail.

                  The 7 appears to be a slim version of the normal 7 - especially the leg !
