Adding to okie's comments. There is a website dedicated to 1859 cents: https://www.vickycents.com, currently there are 41 reverse dies with the 9 reengraved or repunched.
If it is a 9 over 8, then you'll need Rob Turner's book on the overdates, currently about 19 known reverse dies.
Please post a good clear photo of the full date.
edit to add: the "wide" 9 was only used on the overdate cents. Die wear and circulation can make the 9 look wide.
