I've just gone through my 84 examples of 1980 dimes that I had stockpiled, and they're all Wide 0. I suspect the higher price for mint state Wide 0 examples, as given by Charlton, is because they are harder to find at that condition than the Narrow 0 dimes. Charlton also suggests there should be Narrow 0 examples that circulated...

I agree with laconic's post about the shape of the 8 being the most obvious distinguishing feature, followed next by the "curl" of the 9. Below is a shot of the Narrow 0 example found in my prestige specimen set, and a Wide 0 from circulation:

1980-Wide-0---10-Cent??
1980-Wide-0---10-Cent??

I'll still keep my eyes peeled for 1980 Narrow 0 coins in circulation

I too am 0-for-many with the narrow "0" in looking through circulation rolls.

So I recently gave up and bought a narrow variety from a PL set. It cost under $2... sometimes I wonder why I bother roll searching for stuff like this!
