I think that I may have a high 9 penny here. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help. It seems that there is a third variety which can be confused with the high 9. I've seen it referred to as the medium or tilted 9.

The medium 9 variety is an interesting one. The bottom of the 9 is higher than regular and points at the base of 2, so some people confuse it with High 9, but the top of the 9 is aligned unlike the High 9. That's because the last 9 is smaller than the first one (~1.0mm vs ~1.1mm). I think "Small 9" would be a more accurate name for that variety.

Here's one that also appears to be a high 9.
1929-Penny.--High-Or-Low-9?

The bottom of the 9 in this one seems to indicate a high 9. While the top of the 9 is a bit higher than the 2, it is about the same height as the 1. The 2 seems to be a bit on the small side.
