A lot of sellers on ebay are selling medium high 9 cents for a true high 9. This is a graded coin and I disagree with the grade and it being a high 9. Hope the copper guys will chime in on this one as its selling for over 2 grand.The last photo is my coin so look at the first9 compared to the last 9.

Sure doesn't look like MS63 to me. This one has been for sale for a while....way overpriced even if it was MS63.

All these look like high 9s to me. I am not sure that there currently is an "official" description of what constitutes a high 9 (maybe SPP will determine one in the new Charlton!). But for me, if the bottom of the tail on the last nine is on a straight line with the bottom of the 2 then I call it a high 9.

The last 9 is a whisker higher than the 2 at the top so I guess you can say its a high 9 but not by much.

It would be reach to call this a high 9 and as far as a MS-63 I can't see it, the question is and has always been what is a high 9 and this is where the water gets cloudy. It's one of those variety's that it open for interpretation,

I'm not sure if it is a high 9. The die that I think is considered a "high 9" has a thinner second 9, as you can see in the one for sale. I'm not sure what others consider a high 9, but based off of what I know, it's the thinner 9.

Hopefully someone with more experience and knowledge can clear this up.
