​The coin from 1839 were struck either with a reverse from 1938 or 1839, so I don't see the error?

With a title of 1839 one would think it only applies to 1839 -
yet an 1838 is also shown.
Not at all getting technical - no idea about those coins -
just the dates - nothing more.
Will not bother in future.

the only obverse (with the date) is the 1839?

I think it's possible to be confused by the graphic. I'd like to suggest these changes:

Change the title to "USA: 10 cents 1839O, km63.1, Reverse of 1838O"
Change the box on the left to read, "Normal 1839 Reverse (Small o)"
Change the box in the center to read, "Reverse of 1838 (Huge O)"

I'd also like to suggest using small/large rather than small/huge. Huge sounds funny in this context.

​I don't think that is a good idea. The coin is from 1839 (minted in New Orleans, hence an O as mint mark), OK? This coin is either minted with a reverse from from 1838 (large/huge O) or a reverse from 1839 (small 0). So the header is spot-on. Unfortunately I don't know if most of the 1839 coins were minted in more quantities with the 1838 or 1839 reverse, if somebody knows, please enlighten me, and I'll change the box.

I do indeed agree with large instead of huge (the word used in the US documentation).

What to put on the year lines? This?

Yes, that'll do fine.

When I made those graphics yesterday I saw, that the 1841O were about the draperies and NOT the size of the "O"

​I don't agree. I can't find any reference to 1841O without draperies but I can find pictures of 1841O with large/small O.
