Wider, further, rounder, these comparative adjectives are supposed to help you positively identify a variety. That's all fine if you have something to compare your coin to. Look at the crown on the reverse, if the centerline lines up directly between two denticles you have Victorian leaves, if the centerline is to the right of the space between two denticles you have Edwardian leaves. Leaves no room for doubt. No comparatives needed.
