  Nice! It's always fun to own an 18th century coin! The surfaces look really nice on your example

  Positive BST transactions with: too many names to list! 36 at last count.

  Nice example of a 1798 Sheldon 166 variety. The reverse die crack is diagnostic for the variety.

  A slightly more detailed version of the same die variety. Looking now, the color is off. These are hard to photograph color-wise.
