Thanks for the replies! I will post the full picture of the slab tomorrow. I want to see more guesses.

I was looking at two different coins, both graded. One had a variety designation. The one I purchased did not. I believe it to be of the "Normal date" type, but I would really love to hear other's opinions.

 

In my time zone it already is tmrw

 

Vf35

 

I'm at 35 too. Almost a borderline details with that rim ding and those couple knocks in the right obverse field but I'm saying it went straight

 

I just looked at this. My initial impression was Was XF-40/VF-35. That seems to be the consensus here. I'm going to say XF-40.

 

BB-163, B-10. Common and strikes kinda run the gamut. For the record, nobody needs to ask for attribution on Early Dollars. Coolest Internet attribution tool in existence:

I have it at VF35.

 

Thanks!

 

A) I like the coin
B) I don't know the series
C) My GTG really is a guess
D) I have it at XF40, but I could be wrong...lol.

 

Thanks to SuperDave, I now know that my 1799 is a B-11, R2.

 

You shoulda seen my eyes the moment I found that place. They were the size of saucers, and I heard angels singing.

 

Whether VF-35 or XF-40... it's a beautiful coin either way.

 

And the grade is...?

 

I apologize first and foremost, guys and gals! I intended to post this yesterday.

Only one of you got the grade correct! VF-30. I am actually quite happy seeing the rest of you graded the coin higher than it went. I feel good about this purchase.

 

That's a very nice 30.

 

I'm kinda surprised at the 30.. I bet this beauty would bean pretty easily..

 

It should. It is a wonderful coin and very nice; a PQ VF.

 

Well bought indeed.

 

Strong details. Not sure if they net graded it for the rim knock but to me a meaty good looking coin with from pics decent looking surfaces not sure on a cac without seeing in hand

 

It should sticker. CAC and the grading services are more forgiving of 18th century and early 19th century coinage. I have seen CAC sticker coins with toned over scratches that are more offensive to me. It would be hypocritical to reject this coin for minor issues that many coins of the period have, but to give a free pass for the scratches.
