CanadianCollecter New Member Canada 47 Posts	Posted 02/21/2016 11:17 am I've had this 1980 dime for quite some time, and I just found out about the Wide/Narrow variety. Is this a Wide 0? I can't tell, dimes are just too small. Report this Post to the Staff

CanadianCollecter New Member Canada 47 Posts	Posted 02/21/2016 1:16 pm Here's what I found. In the Wide 0 variety, the 0 is the same width all the way around, like a O. The Narrow variety has something that actually looks like a 0. Good luck finding one! Report this Post to the Staff

Collectinator Valued Member Canada 184 Posts	Posted 02/21/2016 10:11 pm Are the wide Os worth anything more than the narrow O if it is not in MS condition? Report this Post to the Staff
CanadianCollecter New Member Canada 47 Posts	Posted 02/22/2016 11:13 am It won't be worth too much more, but still something. Report this Post to the Staff
