Found about a month ago and have been trying to Identify variety. The 1800 cents have been regarded as the hardest of all to Identify, and they are among the hardest to find in fine condition. A major difficulty resides in the fact that there is really only one 1800 reverse. The reverses are all from same hub die, so the only way to really tell the difference on the reverse is if there are injuries to the die, Die breaks and from recutting by the ingraver. The reason the 1800 cent is hard to find in fine condition is because the copper used in the 1800 cent was extremely soft so most examples are seen well worn, Because the copper is so soft they are also usually seen with post mint damaged. I believe mine is a Sheldon 205 very scarce R5 rarity Thanks for looking HH

Very nice coin indeed it seems you may be right as to the coin itself. An awsome find in itself very few are in such good condition HH
 
Nice LC and it being a scarcer variety is always nice. What was the R rating of that LC that was sold by a member here a year or so ago? Was that an R6?
