(As Cladking said.)&nbsp; Depending on how well centered the obv die is, you can have &quot;wide rim&quot; coins with narrow rims and &quot;narrow rim&quot; coins with wide rims.&nbsp; The ONLY way you can tell the two varieties apart consistantly is to look at the distance between the bottom of the 1 and rim.&nbsp; On the narrow rim/far date variety that distance is about 1 1/2 times the width of the upright of the 1.&nbsp; On the Wide rim/close date variety it is only about 1/2 the width of the upright of the 1.&nbsp; Look at the pictures posted by Coinmaster1 and you can clearly see the differences.&nbsp; Then look at the picture you posted and you can clearly see the distance from the rim to the bottom of the 1 is more than the width of the upright of the 1.&nbsp; So it is a narrow rim/far date even though the rim is actually very thick at that point.&nbsp; So IGNORE the width of the rim, look at the distance FROM the rim.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
