Looks to be xf details but cleaned.
an exciting day no doubt!
had you purchased many 19th century coins or earlier prior to this?
Attractive coin--nicely patinated IMHO.
Sorry, but no it was probably the oldest 1800 coin I had purchased at the time. Had a bit to learn, huh?

The coin looks to be approximately AU50 details, cleaned.

Pretty much the same as other responders. I'd probably call that one EF/AU details, cleaned
That's an O-108a as well. Hard to tell, but in addition to the die chip in N ... both of the reverse cracks, and the obverse crack are somewhat visible beneath the cleaning. R3 rarity

45 shot 50, wiped awhile ago.
A little envelope or windowsill toning would enhance the eye appeal, IMO.
