Shield Nickel Narrow or Normal Date?

No expert here, but it looks good for a narrow date judging by the lower curl of the nine which almost touches the loop on the wide dates as shown in the CPG.....yours has the big gap.

This is a variety question about the coin, how is this off topic?

This is a Lincoln cent forum. Any questions about other coins are off topic.

Makes sense, got his confused with another web forum that allows errors for all types of coins, sorry!

Looks like the tall date.
I'm not sure how many dies were tall (if more than one).
Are you thinking it's FS-005?
From the date and how close it is to the ball above the date it looks like it.

If u look at the 9 compared to that in the wide date, it makes it easier to see the difference. Upon other replies and further review online, I believe it is the FS-005. Thanks for the conformation!
