xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 07/05/2014 5:51 pm Are there wide dates without them being the 1859/8? I see nothing on the 9 on this coin. I could be wrong and it's a narrow date, though. I've been staring at coins so long now I can't tell anymore, so I'd appreciate a few other opinions. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 07/05/2014 5:58 pm Narrow and wide for 1859 refer to the 9 itself and not the date spacing. Yours is narrow 9, wide 9s are all 9/8. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

colonialtokens Pillar of the Community United States 840 Posts	Posted 07/05/2014 9:35 pm I agree and also highly recommend Doctor Haxby's web site. The link is posted in the previous response (DBM). The inner hollow of the narrow 9's is oval, whereas the hollow is nearly circular on the 9/8's. Dr. Haxby admirably identified several hundred die marriages of the narrow 9. doug Report this Post to the Staff
