okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5594 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 05:42 am So what does the "wide" part of the variety refer to? Is it a different font (the insides of the 8's round rather than oval)? It certainly isn't the spacing. Report this Post to the Staff
Canacoins Pillar of the Community Canada 955 Posts	Posted 01/25/2018 5:51 pm Someone correct me if wrong but Okie I believe "wide" refers to the overall shape of the number. Wide has a Marilyn Monroe figure where as narrow is more ... um ... is more Audrey Hepburn . ish . That help ? Report this Post to the Staff
