Hey, it's my first post. Just came across what I believe to be the 'pointy' leaf variety on this 1909 5 cent piece, to add to the 'round-y' variety I already had. But could I request another set of eyes please? Much appreciated for the review.

I think you have both round + pointed are they cross or cross bow tie?

The 1909 ML (round) C/B is worth a little money even in VG-8 $250.00 in the Charlton Catalogue.

Thanks for the opinion, and the prompt to check for the variety. I could be wrong here, but this is the reverse crown and that sure looks like a bowtie up there. Much appreciated for the opinion! This has been in my collection since 1995, when I paid $1.20 for it, btw.
