fiddler Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 12/09/2007 4:17 pm Back in the day when I would cash my checks I would ask for dollar coins for odd amounts and just throw them in a piggy bank(actually a duck but who's looking). I just recently got into collecting a little and decided to go thru them. I'm pretty sure this is a wide band. What would it grade at?

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 12/09/2007 5:22 pm Hello fiddler Welcome to the forum ! I think this coin is the narrow rim ,, from the pics I can't really tell if the coin shows some minor wear on the reverse (eagles breast )if that is a product of the picture then I would grade it at MS-62 ,, if it is wear which would require better pictures to tell ,,I would change my opinion to AU.

fiddler Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 12/13/2007 11:57 am I get it now. What I'm really looking for is not so much a wider rim but the date being closer to the rim. Now why don't they just say that in the Red Book? Report this Post to the Staff
bonham3 Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 12/14/2007 10:56 am You can look for it either way. Actually, the position of the date is the same on both. the date was never moved, it was just that the rim is a liitle wider, making it look that way. they call it wide rim or near date. wide rim should be the correct term for this variety. it is only on the 79.
