Found this coin today. Wasn't sure of the year but I did find a couple 1798 Draped Busts with an "Arc Crack" the same as mine. I could not find any other years with that error. So I am assuming it is a1798. It also has a "Die Rotation" error also.

You I.D. it. S-166 per Dr. Sheldon's work "Penny Whimsy". It's the second variety listed with Liberty's hair having the extra shoulder curl. Type II obverse and made while George Washington was still alive. Nice old copper!
