    Nice coin - I collect type coins from Canada and the occasional cameo and toner. I agree in that I have rarely seen die cracks on their coinage.

    And you are correct about your 1870 - it is the wide O variety. The pics in my Charlton book match exactly - plus it is the rarer of the two varieties.

    Thanks for posting it.

    The right side of the 0 is thicker than the left side.
