Is "narrow date" the same as "close date"?

There are no varieties with "13 arrows" or "5 berries." Are they the "normal"?

Numista has a year line with "5 berries, 12 arrows."

Remove "(heraldic eagle)" from title (or add to the titles of the other km32 graphics).

I think I have other questions, just don't know what they are yet.

Yes, I know, but that doesn't answer my questions.

I'm putting together a matrix of this and the other years. I'll send it to you in a PM.

I cannot answer your questions either. The sources we have disagree, so I suppose we're kind of in a blind alley???

When the blind leads the blind they both are usually surprised where they end up.

I've tried to answer my own questions. Agree?


My other comment about "5 berries, 12 arrows" was just that, a comment, meant for us to think about what we do with that year line.

I think "narrow" is "close". Wide and narrow go together, as closed goes with open. Close is together with far, but it's not the date which is close or far from something, but the numbers of the date which are far or near to each other..........................!

It's not "close" as in close the door but "close" as in not far. English is a funny language.

​Exactly what I said.

Then you'll change "close" to "narrow" or "narrow" to "close"? Using close on one picture and narrow on another implies they're not the same thing.

I did, I think?

Ah, yes you did. You just didn't tell me.

So in the light of the morning now we have another problem. In the pictures "narrow" is used but in the boxes on the left it still says "close".

HI,

for the moment I'm not going ,to change anything in this graphic, since I'm going through an inventory of the 8 coins used to make this graphic, and I think at least one the variants is rubbish! Try to look at the "narrow date" and the "narrow date normal 8", in my opinion they are the same. Tomorrow I'll have redone the inventory and I think we also have a problem with the arrows (10, 12 or 13), but I'll send it all, when I've finished.

​OK, I'll wait. No need to rush anything.

There is no extra variant in the graphic. The "narrow date" picture and "narrow date normal 8" picture are the same. They both point to the same variant box. In other words, the graphic doesn't show a "narrow date" variant by itself but only with either "high 8" or "normal 8". You just used a "normal date" picture to contrast with the "wide date" picture.

A new version has seen the day
