    Vickie was a cute young lady there. The rev is very nice aside the scratch. Peace Roy

    I would say this: very few people, IF any, can beat Bosox's coins.
    I think he has a " SP and High MS, RED only, coin-making-machine" in his basement :):):p

    Looks like die clash to me.

    I enjoy early Canadian copper. The die damage can be interesting and varied, especially in the territorial bank tokens. Peace Roy

    I believe your 59 is a variety on the 9.
    let SYL and Bosox chime in. They are THE , or one of THE authorities of the 1859's. they wrote books about them.

    I thought that it might be a DP#3, but I really can't see the Rev clearly enough. I THINK that there's a D/C at 14, but I don't see one at 1. The 9 is distinctive, but this coin is just worn too much. Maybe in hand, someone can see what it is, but not on a computer screeen.
