    This one is giving me trouble. The position of the Second Highest Wave of Hair (SHWH) is left of the upright of the E along with the slightly rotated B and E should nail the S-210. The only close obverse is S-197 and the B and E are not rotated, at least as much, as the S-210.

    The problem is that the reverse doesn't match. Perhaps the distance of the A to the right stem and smaller berries are from corrosion or PMD as is the missing crack through ICA which should be there on all die states of the S-210. I'm particularly suspicious of the location of the berry under (O)F. It appears smaller and more distant from the leaf above than any 1800 reverse.

    But it just leaves me too uncertain to say it's the S-210 with certainty.

    I was searching for the s-210 and ran across this old thread where you weighed in https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1800-large-cent-variety-s-210.236382/

    I didnt realize how rare the S-210 was with an R5. They have quite the premium attached to them. https://coins.ha.com/itm/large-cent...ed-in-an-ncs-holder-incorrectly/a/390-19478.s

    I'd go with S-210, The comma shaped die chip at the top right corner of the B in LIBERTY is visible. Probably an early stage where the chip is faint (It grows more prominent in later stages)
