It's either a late stage 1858 or an early 1859, just going by the vine break at leaf 7. The very last dies to strike the 1858 had a very tiny vine break at leaf 7 (most all 1858's have no vine break there)and all of the 1859's had a vine break at 7 that started tiny and then grew to huge by the end of the '59 strikes. Except for 4 1858 dies, all '58's had a large vine break at 13. Yours has vine breaks at both 13 and 7. Maybe one of the Haxby die trackers can narrow it down to a '59.
