Coin #1 in Barry's study

This second variety, initially appears to be identical to the previous example but under closer examination, it can be seen that there is a Wider gap between the "8" and "0". Once again, a small fragment of the original "7" can be seen at the upper, right-hand side of the "8", however, unlike the Narrow Date, there is no sign of the "7" at the bottom of this digit!
