It's a 17XX Draped bust, it has type 2 hair which makes it one of about half of the 198 varieties, or a 1799. I don't see the diagnostic die chip on the back so it isn't 1799 S-189, and I can eliminate some of the 98's but that is as far as I can get. The OP calls it the S-188 withthe broken die, but I don't see the die breaks that come on the late stage S-188.

with jacrispies that is classic ground corrosion effect on the coin. It's been buried for over a quarter of a century at least maybe a lot more.
