A most intriguing piece. Not a lick to add other than my admiration.....

Different year but appears to be the same type.

Actually, the OP coin is also 1848. Both coins have viii at the end.

 

Cheers for this - my research can be more targeted!

 

Super interesting - Half of me wants to get it conserved through NGC to see if they can make it pop even more.
According to Numista, what I have Could be a 'Rogers #209a' as this has +90% of its plating still present.
