Both 29 and 99 are tough and interesting varieties, although being low grade there probably isn't going to be much of a premium on yours. Double-check the letters in LIBERTY against die scratches shown for both in case the doubling is too worn to see.</p><p><br /></p><p>Be aware that the rarity factors given are estimates at the time of discovery, with R-5 being the default estimate for current new discoveries. High R-numbers mean that the die probably didn't last much longer or that its more surprising the coin hasn't been seen already.
