Wide Date, Re-Engraved, Reverse Legend
1940 Newfoundland 10 Cents · George VI
Initially, this second example of these Re-engraved varieties, appears to be identical to the first of these Modified variations. However, under closer scrutiny, it can be seen that all of the Altered characters found on this example bear similarities to those of the previous variety, but they are not the same! Without exception, the shadows created from the original characters are not nearly as extensive, as they are on the previous variety! Also, neither of the Decorative Loops show any signs of these Alterations! With doubt, the changes to both the Numerals and Lettering of the first of these Re-engraved variations, has a far more spectacular appearance than either of its closest relatives.
