attribution help on this 1798 large eagle bust dollar

My reference book is currently in a box somewhere due to a recent move. Can anyone attribute this dollar for me? There is a spike coming out of the left corner of the shield, which may be one of the attributes.

Beautiful coin!
Okay, so it is cleaned, re-plugged, whizzed, and tooled. Still Nice!
(just said it to get it over with, not really.)

 

''There is a spike coming out of the left corner of the shield, which may be one of the attributes.''

early state of a progressive crack. an anomaly [not a rarity in this case. however, an example of a tds is unique] to have the crack start on a central device.

i forgot to add. great coin, i like the cut of her jib.

 

Am I missing something or just as dense as a log? I'm not seeing the problem with this coin. It looks real enough to me. ?????

 

It's real.

 

It's certainly beautiful and has very smooth looking surfaces. Sorry I can't help with the attribution though.

 

Ok, now that we got that out of the way, is it your's, and if so will you adopt me.
That is one great looking coin.

 

I would say.....can we see it? Just to drool a little bi t more.
