I saw this today in a shops "bargain bin" and just couldn't resist. I love the dirt and the wear.
It's the "Small 8" variety i believe.

    Can't go wrong buying a 206 year old coin in the bargain bin. Nice score.

    Piece of history right there! Nice!

    Good deals with KollectorKing, ChrisRx, Tookybandit, LukeMarshall, and Ajaan! On cointalk, Histman, Sakata, Blisskr, and a few others!

    Never saw one that worn before - perhaps a pocket piece someone had for many years?

    If so they had some dirt in those pockets! Like I said, I love the look and the wear and the history. If a coin could talk, this one has some stories for sure.

    I think she might be a large '8' .....tough call for me anyway.

    Very cool pickup.

    Looks like a small 8 O.109 to me.

    A coin like that in the bargain bin is a nice find.... Old silver, well used... no need for a slab, just enjoy it. Cheers, RickO
