for $1,380 USD, except it is not a W9/8. The photos look a little like an 1859, narrow 9, inverted 9 over 6, but I don't think it is that either.

Maybe a scarce Haxby narrow 9 pair? Or else, somebody believed the holder.

I noticed that, too. I wonder if the buyer recognized it and bought it as a "Low 9".

Buy the coin not the holder. It's a PC59-68 rarity 4 which is a narrow 9 and also has a repunched 9 but not one of the really dramatic ones that are worth a lot of money. Coin isn't worth anything near what he paid IMHO.

sorry to necro an old thread, but been checking my 1859s, more specifically 9/8's...

I'm not a decimal guy, but HOW did that get labeled 9/8?

Well, it kinda looks to me like the narrow 9 that we put on p 291 of the 65th Charlton. We priced it at 10X what a normal narrow 9 would be. I haven't checked what the Haxby number is, but the underpunch seen and the condition of the vine at 7 seem to me to be p 291. In any case, it certainly isn't a 9/8, and the grader should go back to school.
