Picked this up from a coin show this morning, got it for $1.50US.

How did I do?
The third A in canada looks worn but is not.

Very nice 1859! Good color, details and no problems I see.
While it's not the "wide 9" variety, I think it's the "type4" 9 / wide date position for 1859.
Regarding grade, I'm leaning more towards F15 because of details in the portrait I've resolved from your pic below, comparing to an F12 taken from this Canadian grading site.
Weak obverse strike, imo. The reverse looks more VF to me, so perhaps an F15+ net grade.

F12 from that site:
