tfred Pillar of the Community Canada 627 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 9:52 pm I bought this on ebay hoping this was a 9 over inverted 6. But it looks like a nine over 8. Do you agree? What type of 9 over 8? It doesn't look like my others. Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 08/11/2013 5:16 pm my first thought was also kind of looks like a 9... some maybe it is inverted 6? the 8 in 9/8 is much different (at least on the one I have) Edited by Wade 08/11/2013 5:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
dan-in-crystal-lake Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 08/11/2013 7:44 pm It is a 9 over 8. There are several different 9/8 varieties, 14 I think with 22 different coins to collect is you are going for die pairings. Each one is characteristically different in how the 9/8 presents. Rob Turner wrote a nice book on the varieties. It is in it's 2nd edition at present. This is a great series to collect if you want to cut your teeth on varieties. Not too many to get and there seems to be a reasonable supply of them available. Report this Post to the Staff
nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 08/11/2013 8:28 pm There are two 9 over inverted 9 reverse known at present. Here are links to detailed pages describing what to look for. The second one is the one in the Charlton catalog. http://www.vickycents.com/rev-i4.html http://www.vickycents.com/obv-o42.html Charlton Catalog Coin http://www.vickycents.com/rev-i7.html http://www.vickycents.com/obv-o45a.html The main thing to note is the semi-circle within the upper portion of the 9 which shows the inversion. Enjoy! ed I forgot to mention that the coin in Charlton has real distictive markers. A heavily repunched C in CANADA and a die crack at leaf #12 on the reverse are key. I added a link to the obverse page for both coins. So you can see both side of each coin for yourself. Happy hunting. Edited by nybird 08/11/2013 10:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
