Is this one just called a 9 over 8 ? What is the right attribution for this coin?

unless you want to put a Turner or Haxby number on them. I think, that for the last 20 or so years, it was no longer called a "wide 9", just a 9/8. Why CaC still has the 9/8 in parenthesis, I'll never know.

The obverse die is definitely Turner OH1 (the die cracks match). Tough to be absolutely certain about the reverse dies without having the coin in hand (i.e., heavy coin wear, Vicky crud, and no die cracks), but I am pretty sure it is an early die state of die RD4 with an old ding on the knob of the 9. As I said, I would need the coin in hand to be certain. If so, OH1/RD4 is one of the most common 9/8 die pairs.
