1908 penny F165 2+C widest date with the 8 over the tooth

[terrysoldpennies]

This widest date 1908 type is mentioned in David Grooms Bronze book, but its the first one I've personally ever seen , its just a little wider than the reverse D which has the one in the date to the gap, but this being the reverse C has the 1 in the date to the tooth.  I don't know if its to be found paired with obverse 1,  does anyone have an example ??

Is this what you are looking for Terry?

I think what Terry means is the date width Ian.

1 to tooth & 8 to tooth 🙂

Well that's an obverse 1 yes Ian, but as Pete says a 1908  1+C   F164 with the wide date, as my example is a   2+C   F165.

Looking at Ians coin on the CGS site it is just a standard date Terry.

I did not know about that width before ,so have never looked to find one 🙂

Well thanks Pete , I have been looking for years to find this one.
