Made an amazing trade last night that landed me with 3 very cool pieces for my collection.

Here is the 1st coin. I will say, this is the LEAST interesting of the 3 coins!

Crosby 1-B, always wanted one of these!

Very nice Ben!
Although it appears to have been in the ground at one time, the remaining detail is very pleasing.
I'd go F Details

vermontensium, I am surprised to see your grade of F details. Even without a visible date would that still qualify this coin for F?

Do you happen to know the rarity scale of the 1-B?

It's a 1785 blunt rays obverse Crosby 1-B. In my grading opinion/experience of Post Colonials, yes

Considering he said "F Details" and not just "Fine", I would agree.
