5.75 coil

If you own the coil, you can test it yourself to find out which it is.
Widescan coil has a wide detection field (about 80% of the coil size) from side to side, very narrow forward and back.
concentric is well.....concentric. Equal all the way around the coil.
With both, the field of detection tapers as the distance from object increases.
The concentric works deeper than the widescan. however I prefer the widescan when searching through trashy areas.
The widescan will false more than the concentric. This seeming flaw is how I find treasure amongst trash.
A quick forward and back sweep over the object in a couple directions will ID the object between the trash. With the concentric, the object is often masked.
That's my experience, hope it helps.
