1800 LC "UNBELIEVEABLE!"----Looking for Sheldon Variety

My sister Kim,,(The Vermonster), found this coin last week. Without a doubt, THE best LC we have ever found. Exhibits VF details. I gave it the peroxide bath only 1 time, and soaked it in distilled water. I haven't coated it with olive oil or vaseline yet, as I really do not think it needs it. Well struck on a nice planchet with no die breaks. Many of these were struck on "crappy" planchets. I am in the process of purchasing a used Breen book so I can ID coins myself. CoinFacts does not list pictures of ALL the Sheldon varieties of the Normal 1800 date. Was hoping Don may be able to help. (Please tell me it's an NC-3 or 4) ;D UNBELIEVEABLE how this came out, both with cleaning and out of the ground! Enjoy..........Hogge

"But I'm confused, are you saying its a colonial coin?"

I had a brain fart when I typed that. But it's still over 200 years old. I'm lucky to get late 1800's in my area so something so old truly fascinates me. I still vote banner. lol
