1899 Indian Head Cent Question

I know absolutely nothing about Indian Head Cent varieties. I purchased 3 rolls of wheat cents on ebay. I got 6 or 7 IHC's in the rolls. While doing some research I found that IHC's have numerous varieties, like Morgans, called "Snow" numbers. These are named for the author of the book, like VAM is for Morgans. I can't find any pics to go by so any help will be appreciated greatly. The last 9 in 1899 looks different than the second 9. It looks fatter and just different. Check it out.

It may look different because that is just the way the design was made...with one 9 smaller than another. I'm not an IHC expert though, so I don't really know.

 

You might find Rick Snows website interesting. The Fly-In forum at the top of his page is a forum for flying eagle and Indian head cents,

Thanks Jim, this is exactly what I was looking for. I don't know how I missed this site in my searches. I am always looking to broaden my microscopic knowledge of numismatics.

 

I have only one IH, and it happens to be a '99. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks Clutchy, your 9 appears fatter also. So, unless we are both really lucky, I doubt it is a variety. Thanks again.
