Owner Comments:
This was my first "Wow" 18 century coin, although, the coin here is an upgrade but the original, bought c. 1972 is a solid Pr-1 to Ag-3. And yes I still have the original coin but have not had it graded.
The 1798 is the most available of the series and especially the pre 1800. This coin is solid for the grade. Nice planchette quality and no corrosion.
