Batch New Member Canada 29 Posts	Posted 06/27/2025 4:13 pm Thanks for the help. It seems that there is a third variety which can be confused with the high 9. I've seen it referred to as the medium or tilted 9. Report this Post to the Staff
mice45 Valued Member Canada 106 Posts	Posted 06/27/2025 4:46 pm The medium 9 variety is an interesting one. The bottom of the 9 is higher than regular and points at the base of 2, so some people confuse it with High 9, but the top of the 9 is aligned unlike the High 9. That's because the last 9 is smaller than the first one (~1.0mm vs ~1.1mm). I think "Small 9" would be a more accurate name for that variety. Report this Post to the Staff
Batch New Member Canada 29 Posts	Posted 06/27/2025 4:56 pm Here's one that also appears to be a high 9. The bottom of the 9 in this one seems to indicate a high 9. While the top of the 9 is a bit higher than the 2, it is about the same height as the 1. The 2 seems to be a bit on the small side. Report this Post to the Staff
