Rare coin!!!!!

[sscindercoop]

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

That will certainly be a prized addition to your collection! Its so rare to see early-date LCs in such great condition, much less one with an R5 rarity.
