Coin #1 in Barry's study

The second Wide Date variety is markedly rarer than either of the previous two examples and it will take special care to separate it from the first Wide Date variety. In this case, the Gap between the "1" and "9" is even Wider than it is with its closest relative and only a sliver of the "9" is covered by the base of the "E". Also, the spacing between the "9" and "0" is almost imperceptibly narrower than that of its companion and it will take a sharp eye to notice this difference!
