That's why I hoped someone would get it who appreciates having one of possibly a half dozen (for states I, II and II combined) examples of a coin...
Halfway there.
Hint! Check out the Fraction for starters.
You can connect to the coin through the link even after the bidding closes; then click on the bids (blue) and it will give a list of bidders with...
This is a worn 1797 which is unattributed. Name the variety and what attribution points nailed it for you....
The Toyman Wins with an $1110 bid! I hope he appreciates it's numismatic value.
Oh No! Not a Large Cent Bid. Tell me it ain't so...
I'm not into toned coins, but that 1887 Indian speaks to me.
Up to $785 now and the two highest bidders usually go for toys?
These will be unidentified or misidentified coins (at least I think so) I see on the eBay. Few will be pretty since few on eBay are. I'll start...

This unattributed 1796 is a nice low grade example of a 1796 S-83 (R4). The Obverse (2) is identified by the closeness of the 1 to the curl as...
I hesitate to include this one, but I figured what the hay? This is an UGLY, but borderline rare (R4+) variety which I still think is overpriced...
I think any crack you see at the E is imagination. Actually, the first crack becomes evident on a break from the rim to the bust at the left edge...
This is an R5+ variety (S-35) which is even rarer in this early Die State. This variety typically has a strong crack through the right side of E....
I'm going to be a sucker for retooled rarities. I can't tell.
I'd go with AU Details, but that's me and I'm an atrocious grader.
The smoothing of the fields? It that sometimes called burnished?
OK! Now I get to ask what you see that indicates retooling. I obviously do not know what to look for. Retooling and counterfeit detection is a...
