1920 50c ICCS "Wide Date" vs "Wide O"

Post by 1961dot » Sun Oct 31, 2021 9:11 am

are 1920 50c "Wide Date" and "Wide O" one in the same designation ? coinsandcanada calls them "Large O" and "Small O"... charlton has "NO" and WO" (presumably Narrow and Wide)...

i'm probably over-thinking this, but could be possible (conceivable) that a Small/Narrow O could eventuate in what ICCS is calling "Wide Date"... simply confused as to why two assignations by same tpg

Welcome to the Forum
I have always called them Wide and Narrow 0. It is the inside of the 0 that is different although the
Wide 0 is slightly wider.
Can't answer as to what ICCS is doing, maybe they changed their terminology somewhere along the way.
Probably both are correct, depends on who you are referring to.
