That is not a High 9. The photo is not clear enough to see it is just Machine Doubling on the 9 or the real 9/9.

Here is another one (I think). A nice upgrade to my small cent collection either way. Has there been any formal recognition/classification of this variety, other than Zoell?

Zoell never recognized this one. To answer your question, yes, I published about this variety in the CN Journal a few years ago.

Canadian-varieties, the lower tip of the nine would say otherwise...

Quote: purelywasted, your picture is not a 9/9. It looks similar to other posted examples. Is there any missing/distinguishing mark that would indicate whether it is or is not? Thanks SPP. Your article spurred me to sign up for the RCNA, looking forward to reading it whenever my membership arrives/activates.

As an RCNA member, you now have access to all the older CN Journal publications online... the one with this specific variety is November 2013 issue.

Are you able to take a macro-photo of the last 9?

I will when it arrives, I batch my HA shipments to keep shipping costs down. I will probably get them sent in a month or so, if I find something else that I like at the right price. Will upload then.
