Quote: I don't think that wear can account for all of the differences here.. Nor will I attempt to... I intend to show a normal (business strike) low 9 and an example of the High, Far 9 (the two end members, as I mentioned earlier). The intent is for the variety, not a proper die study....

I will take a wild guess and say the 1962 harp would fall under overcleaned die or something?

For one , I stay right away from these date spacing varieties like the 1929 cent ,1896 Large cent, 1932 nickel and the like. In my opinion anyone throwing big bucks at this stuff, needs a reality check. Too flaky and arbitrary . What's certified and graded one month is pariah the next. Look at all of the date spacing in the fifty cents series. Interesting but hardly huge pricing differences.

The 1932 far 2 is legit and a very interesting variety that will catch on one day...
the 1896 far 6 probably will never find favour with collectors.
But the 1929 high 9 isn't going away

I posted this picture some time ago and only showed the 29 which does not give a proper scan. Look at my coin and the last 9 is higher than the first 9. I tried to straighten it up as this also helps.

It is finally out! Thanks to all those who contributed for the small cent variety section. Unlike previous variety catalogues, elements like die clashes, Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration Doubling, and die wear, die damage, are not included (die clashes can be found in almost every year, for example).... so, it is not an overly extensive listing, there are actually relatively few true die varieties ( sensu stricto).... http://charltonpress.com/Numismatic...780889683716
