I’m not sure they both look like low 9 to me . But hard to tell from those pictures.

I agree.
They both look low unless better pics prove otherwise.

Both are low line.
In the future, please crop your photos. This will help increase the size.

These both appear low 9. A high 9 is fairly obvious, with the 9 vertical. The reason I bring the orientation of the 9 up is that on at least one reverse die utilized the 9 is tilted slightly CW, causing the bottom tip of 9 to be raised thus giving the elusion that the 9 is high. I've seen numerous 'tilted 9s' mistakenly attributed as 'high 9s'. BTW, a 'tilted 9' is not that common either. We are getting into the realm of die tracking if coins like this begin to be actively collected. I was asked to write an article about the 1929 Cent by Coin News a few years back, which has some images differentiating each. Cheers.
