Took a dive into early copper... how'd I do?

No returns accepted, so it's kinda a gamble. But the piece looks very respectable. The last two PCGS XF40s sold for about $2k on Heritage. I think the white speckles on the obverse closeup are a glare from some flecks on the holder, not the coin.
I'm very new to early copper. Is this an S-270? Is it, generally speaking, an attractive piece?

Are you hoping it will cross? I like those early ANACS holders and have been lucky moving them to PCGS.

If I think it will stay XF45, I'll try it with PCGS. If I think it would downgrade, I might leave it as ANACS XF45.

Yes, it is an S-270, the only variety of the year.
As a variety, it's common, but since it is the only
variety of the year, it's considered scarce as a
date.
I think I read the the cent press broke down
early in 1806, which would account for the fact
that there is only one variety for the year.

I knew it would happen.

the pictures kind of give the coin a little "glow" but Im guessing its just the pictures.
otherwise the coin does look quite nice.
