You usually don't see full hanging number die clashes after 1964, only a small ridge on the stem. (sorry for the blurry close-up)

Thanks for posting, always questioned what a "hanging" # was referred to on those Canadian coins (caused by a die clash, Right?)

Here are two more types of hanging 9:

Side hanging 9:
