    Looks like a cracked die, about ready to fall apart. Grade XF45?, but possibly a bit of polishing....

    Did that get buffed by a car buffer?

    Believe it or not, apparently 1795. For the longest time it was believed that close collars were not introduced until the 1820's, but further study has shown that the reeds on the reeded edged coins was NOT applied by Castaining machines but rather by the collars during striking. An open collar would not provided a good reeded edge so they must have been struck using close collars from the beginning.
