kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 11/21/2012 1:46 pm Charlton 2013 lists Hooked 99 and Large 99 varieties (with pictures) for the NFLD 1899 20c. Charlton 2012 also included a Small 99 variety. Is this is a mistake/omission in 2013 or was there a reason for removing it? Anyone know? Report this Post to the Staff

fredor Valued Member Canada 142 Posts	Posted 11/21/2012 8:09 pm My opinion on the matter is that the "small 99" variety was just a weakly struck 99 causing it to appear smaller. To date I have not seen an actual Small 99 Variety over VF30. There is definitely a low 2nd "9" variety, though. Barry Borsellino (who is writing quite the comprehensive NFLD variety book, at 375 pages now!)will list 3 varieties of the 1899 20 cent and 2 sub varieties. TYPE I (a) - Wide Date, Large "9's" TYPE I (b) - Narrower Date, Large "9's" TYPE II (a) - Small "9's" TYPE II (b) - Hybrid Small "9's", Low, Repunched "9" TYPE III - Narrow Date, Hook "9's", Re-Engraved "S" Report this Post to the Staff
