I think your coin is Obverse 10 + reverse E12a. Die pair PC59-23. The 1 and 8 seem to match and stem to leaf 9 matches better than the E25b. Still need better photos to be sure though.
If there is, that would confirm that it is Rev E12a. The obverse should then match Obverse 10. I still believe it is 10+E12a based on the re-punched 1 and the shape of the stem to leaf 9.
More pics Obverse Double G in Regina and Double V and A in Victoria and C and N in Canada . No obvious cracks in Obverse other than running parallel through Victoria.
There are circular cracks through the letters of VICT and CA on the photos which are also markers for Obverse 10. Some die cracks are faint and you have to look carefully to see them. On earlier die states die cracks will be fainter and on later die states they will be bolder. The location of the die cracks is the key. For instance the reverse crack to the tip of leaf 7 is there as Fourmack said, but it is faint and partly covered with a little dirt on the coin, so it does not appear as bold as the crack in the photo from the Haxby catalog.
Those later closeup reverse and obverse photos are nice and show the details well enough to ID this coin as the 10+E12a.
Yes it is common R-1 on the rarity scale. It's a nice looking coin. There is a youtube video that one of the members of the forum put together to help with using the Haxby catalog.

Also you should read the article Dr. Haxby wrote as an introduction to understanding 1859 N9 cents.
