Coin #2 in Barry's study

The first of these two varieties has a Wide Date which can be easily recognized by observing the position of the "T" (in the word "CENTS"), over the Numeral "5". In this case, it is located directly above the front section of this Digit. Also, the gaps between the last three Numerals are considerably Wider than those of the Narrow Date variation.
