Is this 1820 quarter dollar a large O or small O?

PCGS certified it as a Large O, but it looks like a small O to me. What do you think?

Looks large 0.
Edit: After seeing some of the replies below, and some more glances at CoinFacts, it’s a medium 0 because of the straight edges.

A medium “0”

Definitely the medium "0". Compare the size of the opening and the thickness of the sides of the numeral. The Small "0" has a narrow opening with thick sides, the Large "0" has a wide opening and thin sides, and the Medium "O" has a wide opening and thick sides.

Medium 0, wider than small 0 and even with top of 2.
