If, by looking at the coin yourself, you see part of an actual design beyween the tail of the 9 and the upper section, then there may be some type of variety possible. I thought that it looked like a camera movemnent or more of the dirt/PVC green stuck there. In Hans Zoell's books, he would have referred to a coin like yours as a "bold 9", because it was struck with tired or worn dies, rather than using a different font with the 9 beingthicker/chubbier.
