I have my own opinion, I would like to check it with what y'all think. (Using the Browning number system of course)

That is the redx variety....
It is an 1818 B-1, which is actually an overdated obverse die with the last digit being an 8 over a 5. However in this lower grade you may not be able to see the underdigit 5. It is perhaps the second most common die marriage seen for 1818.
The reverse is easily identified due to the large dentils and the style of 2 and 5 in the denomination.
Once the reverse die developed a large bisecting die crack, this obverse overdated die was used with another reverse to create the 1818 B-3 die marriage.

<< <i>Thanks Quarternut, that was my diagnostic as well. For the life of me I can't figure out how to post a picture, any tips? (apparently I am better at understanding coins than computers) >>
For pictures in Photobucket, if you put your curser on the photo a box will appear below the picture. Just slide the curser down to the box that says IMG Code. Highlight the text in the box and right click on your mouse. When a the box with choices opens up, click on "copy". Then go to the text box on here when replying or when starting a new subject, right click with your curser where you want the picture to go and when the box opens up with choices, click "paste". That's it!
If you want the pictures to be side by side, paste the code for the second picture right after the end of the first. If you want the pictures stacked, after pasting the first one hit enter so the curser will move down to the next line and then paste the second one.
After you do it a couple of times it will seem very easy...
