Bought from an online store with average photos. Please give your opinions.

1858-Five-Cent-Coin.
Not with a larger 5 for denomination, here it is to compare with, but this one I copied the denomination 5 and pasted lower for font size comparison.

VF30 cleaned with steel wool.
It's so unlike you to post an ordinary coin,there must be more to it.

Is the top 5 a photoshop cut-and-paste or is this coin now the finest 5/5 found to date? What is that now, 4-5 found?

I seem to be causing more confusion. The top coin is my new buy for $150 including shipping. I posted the second coins photo just so you see the one I just bought is not a denom.5/5 but it is a large date type. I am going to cut the denom 5/5 out of it's ICCS holder and then post all three types photo'd together. The online store called my new one EF45 small date.
Here are all three types together.

A question I have is, if there was only one matrix, why is there the tip of the leaf almost touching the 1 on the first and is not anywhere close on the other two?

It is where the die crack goes between the leaf and 1.
