The old plug has a large gap and is rounded from usage. This is normal.

Yea, it's the wear that makes the gap larger. I've seen this many times (we keep our cars forever).

174k on that plug would be pretty good going. Iโ€™ve seen them under 150k where the negative has worn down to the bend.

174,000k on that spark plug and it still looks that good? I want to know what brand, because every spark plug I've ever owned at 100,000k does not look nearly that good.
