1799 Dollar Help

Was looking at this dollar in a local B and M today. Any opinions would be appreciated. Besides grade, anyone venture to guess what variety it is.
Thanks in advance.

Some nice details remaining, and of course, I can't tell 100% because the picture is blurry, but... is that a cleaned coin I see?

Its an iPhone photo that is horrible. There is a lot of glare mainly so I could catch some details. The patina on the coin is actually very attractive/ has NOT had a recent cleaning IMO.

It looks like die marriage BB-161, B-11 with the obverse clash marks still
apparent over the date. The rev. looks like die state III with the large crack
from the left border past the D over to the ribbon. It has a defective upper
left serif at the U in united. There is another crack from the arrow feathers
upward through UNITE to the border.

The sharpness grade is in the lower AU range, but it is impossible to tell anything about the quality of surfaces which all important at this sharpness level. If the surfaces are shiny beware. Also look for hairlines. When I see a potentially pricey coins like raw (not certified), I have concerns and take a strong second look.
