I have a couple of these (one wide one narrow) and my zeros seem further away than the one in this photo. It has a position like a wide over narrow zero but it looks way too close.... The rest of the coin looks OK diagnostically I think. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

laconic Valued Member Canada 168 Posts	Posted 05/27/2010 09:08 am I was always under the impression that the wide '0' is in reference to the inside circle of the '0'. When you say 'further away', are you talking about how close it is to the '8'? They would be a 'far 0' then? In any case, it looks like a wide 0 to me. That coin would probably grade fine so the guy has a $450 coin and he's holding it in his bare hand and pressing down on the rim picture! Finger prints and oil transfer. :( Edited by laconic 05/27/2010 09:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 05/27/2010 09:42 am Right, the zero looks way to close to the eight. I have that book and some others, plus two real coins. All the zeros look further way from the eight than what's in that picture. Head scratcher. Report this Post to the Staff
