First of all, great pennies! I love seeing large cent collectors around the world :)
That 5/5 is great! I'm wondering if it's a hanging 9...? (you know how those pennies in the 1950's are 'hanging' with a square punch looking thing above the 9)
Maybe it's just a trick in lighting or toning
Ok ok, back to grading and price
1859 DP5 (5/5) AU-50
Book value $25 CAD - this variety is not widely recognized as bringing a higher price unless you find the right collector :)
Market value in my opinion: $25-30 CAD
1859 N9 MS-63/64 BN (brown). I looked very hard and other than toning that makes it look circulated there's no wear at all.
Book value $270-550 CAD if the coin was fully red
Market value in my opinion: $225 CAD
