I think that is a low 9, high nines are usually more pointed and a bit higher. Not my area of expertise though

I don't collect them at all, so just an opinion ... I think that it's a low 9. If you look at CaC and draw a line across the top tips of the 9 & 2 (the middle digits), you'll see that the "high 9" shows a bit of the last 9 cut off. Forget about a line that also includes the 1, just use the 9 & 2. A line there will be about even with the final 9.

Low. The bottom of the 9 should be even with the bottom of the 2.

Low nine. There are several threads on this specific coin here on CCF, do a search for lots of photos.

A question on this variety. If there is a high and low 9, was the last digit handpunched into the working dies, or was a separate submatrix done so that there were only 2 placements for making the working dies? I'm thinking like the Vicky 1896's where you had near, far, high, low and any combination of the placements?

The trick is to look at the spacing between the 2 and the last 9. On the High 9, it is much wider.
