Wide Date, Low "7"
1870 Newfoundland 20 Cents · Victoria
This second known variety has a Wide Date, which is the result of the "0" being punched closer to the Ring of Beads than it is for its Narrow Date companion. In addition, the "7" has been positioned slightly lower in the date, making it a defining feature of this particular variation.
