Cool crowns, with a quintessentially 18th century look.
This is one type I've owned before, though as I recall, mine was only VF-XF.
Funny how the eagle has two heads on some, but is headless on the 1790 piece. Perhaps the weight of that big crown shoved both of his heads down behind the shield. Haha.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

Thank you so much! I really love the design!
