Nice addition, and it's great that it could be attributed! It's always fun trying to imagine the history that coin has seen.

I'd submit it for certification. What is the Lowest Graded for the date? Straight-graded PR-1 Draped Busts are scarce. I got this for $4 from ebay; it has to be an 1813 S-292, so it's not hopeless for a Pr-1

OldGrouchyGuy, the lowest graded 1803 Draped Bust Large Cent on PCGS is PR-01. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...tion-bn/1485 Yours is nice too.

1803 S-261. That obv die was the one that was later used to create the 1804 restrike cent. Key identifying feature is a strong arc crack on the obv from 9:00 to 6:00 that bisects the date. It is strongest toward 6:00 and can clearly be seen on your coin.

This is a an image of a high grade middle die stage piece that shows well what the crack looks like.
