I think there is enough detail on the reverse to match it to S-256, which means it is an 1803. Are there any other varieties with this same reverse?

Would be very cool to get it slabbed with date and attribution.

The first I bought over 20 years ago when I was still collecting large cents.

So, of course, I had to buy it.
Any clue about these countermarks? The auction description for the first postulated it was possibly from Martinique. This could be far-fetched. Montserrat had similar marks, but usually on French Cayenne coins.

Any ideas about the symbol in the middle of this one?
Two W's around an interesting punch pattern. I wondered if it was some kind of tool.
Then I found this one about 20 years later:

I'm thinking suttlers tokens, merchant token to ensure repeat business.
