SolarPenny Valued Member Canada 234 Posts	Posted 05/27/2015 6:27 pm Wondering if the top coin is a "high 9" variety. It was labelled as such when I bought it but wasn't aware of the variety until I brought it home, didn't pay much for it so thought it was worth checking out. The bottom one is the only 1929 I have to compare to, I see a bit of a difference but still not sure. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 05/27/2015 7:20 pm It's not quite a High 9, SolarPenny, it's more of a "Medium 9". The true High 9 has the bottom of the tail of the 9 more in line with the bottom of the 2. There are a few different variations in the placement of the 9 causing more than one collector to shake his head in puzzlement while trying to identify his/her variety. Report this Post to the Staff

SolarPenny Valued Member Canada 234 Posts	Posted 05/27/2015 8:27 pm Alright thanks for the responses! I paid around $3 for it thedollarman. I just did a quick search on my phone while I was there and saw that coins and canada had it at $21 for AG-3 so I figured I would pick it up and if it wasn't worth anything then I wouldn't lose much anyways haha. Unfortunately I am not going to the expo but thanks for the offer! Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 05/27/2015 8:34 pm no problem, I would say that value from c and c is veeeeery high, it seems VG8 examples go for about ten bucks. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
SolarPenny Valued Member Canada 234 Posts	Posted 05/27/2015 8:52 pm I will have to start keeping an eye out. I was able to pick up a 1894 large cent and a 1957 1WL silver dollar as well today and just added this 29' cent last minute. I think I did well enough on the other two to make up for this one.
