Collectinator Valued Member Canada 184 Posts	Posted 04/01/2014 8:43 pm Hi guys, is there really a variety for wide and narrow "0" on a 1980 dime? The 2014 Charlton guide says that the wide "0" is worth $3 in VG condition. I've acquired three 1980s lately and they all seem to be the wide variety. The knowledge about the subject would be very helpful. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

The wide 0 has the top of the 0 the same width as the sides, while the narrow 0 is much narrower at the top than the sides. Try to get one of each in really nice shape, and you'll see the difference. Well-worn narrow 0's tend to widen out with the wear and banging around of being in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
