coinman91 Pillar of the Community Canada 668 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 6:00 pm Any opinions as to a small or large 99 variety? Just for fun Ofcourse as there isn't a large difference in price. Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 6:38 pm For this year, there is large 9's, and hooked 9's, and there is a big difference in price, with the hooked 9's being the much more valuable, with that being said you have the more common large 9's..

coinman91 Pillar of the Community Canada 668 Posts	Posted 03/11/2021 7:33 pm Thank you for your reply! I'm aware of the hooked 9 more just trying to clarify between the others. I figured it was a large too! Report this Post to the Staff
TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 03/12/2021 07:31 am As SilverWolf said there is only hook 99 and large 99 varieties. There is no small 99. Its the 96 that has a small and large 96. Nice coin. Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff
coinman91 Pillar of the Community Canada 668 Posts	Posted 03/12/2021 08:10 am Hmm, I'm once again confused as to why coins canada and the saskatoon varities both make reference to a small 99? Variety AG-3 G-4 VG-8 F-12 VF-20 EF-40 AU-50 1899 - Large 99 $4.90 $7.80 $11.80 $16.20 $29.90 $177 $578 1899 - Small 99 $10.70 $14.00 $15.00 $18.00 $90.00 $230 $275 1899 - Hooked 99 $10.60 $24.50 $49.00 $98.00 $184 $882 $1,760 Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 03/12/2021 09:52 am You're confused because they are confused. At one time ICCS certified small 9 varieties, until it was discovered they were actually no different from large 9's. Small 9's are no longer listed in Charlton's or Trends. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
TheDeductible Pillar of the Community Canada 851 Posts	Posted 03/12/2021 10:02 am Well the Charleton only lists the Hook 99 and the Large 99, however there are other varieties. Let me help clear this up for you. Barry Borseliino's work states there are two small 99 variations, the first of which is the Type II (a) small 9's with DOT and I quote "In this case, it is also true because this particular Small "99" variation, has a tiny "Dot" which can be found on the Obverse of these coins, between the Letters "N" and "D" (near the Bottom) in the word "NEWFOUNDLAND"!' The other small 99 variety, which he terms 'Type II (b), small 9's has a low repunched second 9 and no Dot. The one you have shown is the latter. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
