1897 Penny - NGC calls these two High Tide, seems incorrect

[Michael-Roo]

Agreed; not high tide.

Its one of the most mis attributed types you see , nearly all the so could high tide examples on E.bay are incorrect .

The best way to tell is by the stem of the P in Penny which on the High Tide points to the Gap [space] between the teeth, on all the others it points to the Tooth.
