<p>[QUOTE="Bill in Burl, post: 3914826, member: 23692"]Since the last digit in the date was hand-punched into each working die, the 9's are all over the place, including many that are doubled with good offsets. There really isn't any 1859 variety that can actually be called a "low 9", even though CaC and Trends lists one, really by mistake. There is kinda low, somewhat low, low, very low, very low, etc etc. Since there is no "standard" low 9, it will just go into the 200+ different reverse dies that were used to make the 10 million coins. You will find many of the dates with the 9 canted and different spacing between the 9 & the 5. The 1859's are a full-time job to collect. I have over 1000 of the '59's myself with almost ALL of the known varieties. Any 1859 in MS-62 or higher will bring in big bucks, especially if it a known, published recognized variety. The CaC varieties that are listed on the site for "varieties" are anomalies that any member can submit, with whatever name that they want. I don't think that ICCS will even certify any more "low 9's", the same as they won't the 1896 far 6, because there are so many different working dies that can fit the "description" ... you have high, low, near, far, canted and any combination of them. Check out the Haxby site of the 1859's and you will get a real eye-opener.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
