Which variety do I have and how common is this one. I notice it has the repunched five also. I want to sell it, but I am wondering what I should expect? I bought it years ago as an EF coin, but....

    Not common, about a $180+ coin in EF. There are 400+ of varieties of the 1859 cents. I have seen others with the repunched 5.

    Check out this site:

    Bosox (Rob) just released his book on the 1859/8 cents. In it he lists 12 distinct reverse dies with the overdate. Yours appears to be RD9.
