I've IDed most of my 1859 cents but have 4 to go, two maybes, two . This one has been giving me fits; there's a heavy double die clash on the reverse but no cracks, no obvious repunches, no clogs, and I can't seem to match leaf 9 or loop 2. HELP !

Try to find it by the stems on 13. I don't use Haxby

Not having any knowledge of how leaf 13 fits into the equation, I went back to the Haxby site for the nth time and looked at anything even close to the reverse leaf 9 stem. I finally came up with a possibility, J9, which is also marked as having a double die clash. I checked my 179 and the die clashes were the same.
The obverse 50 with J9 (Haxby 179) has a die crack forming at state 2, but mine doesn't have that so it could be first state. There looks to be a small groove between the feet of the last A where the crack forms.

(added) I marked this one down and then decided to have a look at the other one that I had no clue about, and it was the same, and also had a groove between the feet of the A !
Does leaf 13 fit the equation?

All I suggested is to use leaf 13 as the spot to "identify my coin" and see which Revs fit what you have. You will have the big vine break there, but it looks like the stem is incomplete as well, and it looked to me as the start of a crack as well. It was just a suggestion, not a direction to check 13 on every '59. You said that you couldn't find it using the normal method(s).
