Agree AG-03, most attractive despite the wear.

Shoudn't there be another 9 under the second 0? Did the die just have 179 and an empty space to put in the appropriate last digit?  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

1800/179 Overdate - Sheldon (not Snow!) S-194, but you're right on the number, Mr. Coop :) Note that the C in CENT is lower than the E and the bottom right serif of the T in CENT is embedded in the wreath. Looks to be MDS as I don't see the telltale rim Cuds but the denticles are too worn at any rate. Agree w/an AG3 net grade, the defects do not hurt the coin at this grade level (some porosity, rim bruises); overall the coin is still fairly attractive in the grade. This is an R3 variety (slightly scarce) and I would value it around $40 to $60 retail in this condition, not bad for what you paid for it.
