Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1275 Posts	Posted 03/02/2017 3:30 pm I don't know enough about these to comment on the narrow or wide "O" but there sure is a difference in the width or placement of the date. look at the distance in the gaps between the "O" and right leaf .

TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 03/02/2017 5:55 pm Thanks Bill. In my opinion the first coin is a "Wide 0", the second is a "Narrow over Wide 0". I'm just trying to get someone to reaffirm my thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9913 Posts	Posted 03/03/2017 11:55 am Your top coin is indeed a wide 0. The wide 0 variety is a "money coin". There were at least 5 different wide 0 reverse dies used, for a mintage of 400,000 that represents a significant portion of the total number of dies used thus they aren't as rare as current pricing would indicate.
