Stacey - Many of the dies that minted 1858 and 1859 cents had the 5 in the date re-punched. They are both interesting and collectable, even if they are not scarce. If you want to try to find out which die made your coin, Dr. Haxby has a website, http://www.vickycents.com, up now. It is a work in progress, but represents the most detailed work to date on 1859 cents.
