(c) There are four lines under "Saint," and three long and two short lines under "Louis," the last on a level with the bear's ear.
(d) A diamond in the top, and a long diamond in the back of 5, with four dots over and four dots under the latter. Coarser shading around the figure, and a curved vertical line at the back of the bow, being part of the 0 of 20 badly erased.
(e) Bear on a vertically lined ground. The two lines of the frame above Louis bulged.
Ten Cents. The words "Saint," and "Louis" are in small, colored, ordinary capitals, unshaded. There is a long flourish curved upwards over each word. It seems to have been intended to have a point with a short dash on each side of it, above each of these, with a second long flourish curved upwards and then brought down round the end of the word, and continued as a flourish under them, but the details are different in the several types. The numerals are ornamented by a diamond in the middle of each down stroke, with three dots, above and below each diamond, except in type one, which has only two dots below the diamond in the 1.
The following varieties will be noticed:
First Variety. The point and right dash, between the corner flourishes on both sides, usually missing, and the upper flourish does not come distinctly round the right hand word.
| 3 | lines | beneath | "Post Office." |
| 5 | " | " | "Saint." |
| 4 | " | " | "Louis." |
Second Variety. The point and right dash, between the flourishes in the right hand corner, gone, and the upper flourish, does not come round the right hand word distinctly.
| 3 | lines | beneath | "Post Office," |
| with a smaller stroke over each. | |||
| 4 | lines | beneath | "Saint." |
| 4 | " | " | "Louis." |
Third Variety. The point between the dashes, between the flourishes on the left, missing.
