<< <i>Nice coin. No-brainer, solid XF, problem-free. And as for the denomination, it's whatever denomination had a "1-800" die variety that year. >>
"Dotted date" from die break...
is it a small coin? certainly not a quarter or half dollar, not a dollar... hmmmmm

Grade...I'd say XF-45.
Looks real nice!
<< <i>1800 Draped Bust dime JR-2, R.5? Grade EF-40. >>
We have a winner, on all counts! It's in an NGC XF40 slab. Personally, I'd call it a 45.
According to the authors of the JRCS Early Dime book, the 1800 Draped Bust dime JR-2 has the dubious distinction of being the only heraldic eagle dime to be counterfeited. The cast counterfeits seen are light in weight and have a short horizontal die crack extending left of the crossbar of A in STATES.
Looks borderline EF to me. Yummy.
The portrait ain't right for it to be a dollar, and the quarter would have the denomination below the eagle.
the quarter also wouldn't be dated 1800
