Anyone know more about the British 1859/8 Shilling?

    A little preface:

    For the past ten or so years, I've squirreled away a huge pile of world silver (about 2,000 pieces, mostly better/older/cooler stuff.) I've finally come to grips with letting a good portion of it go, so I'm going through and weeding out the ones I care more about than others. I was going through my British shillings and accidentally discovered I have an 1859/8 - but Krause/NGC/eBay/Google are giving me nothing but blank stares and empty slots.

    Does anyone know if this is a desirable or relatively common overdate variety? I'll get some pictures up later; coin appears to be in around Fine condition with a probable cleaning.

    Thanks!

    Apparently PCGS has graded two, an MS64 and an AG03, so the variety does exist. No mention of values yet, though.

    No huge interest, just a little I found one that PCGS blew the grade on but got an IMO correct "58" from NGC. Really not exciting, but not junk if in higher grade obviously.
