I'd go 40 on this one. Yes, I'm jealous. Very beautiful copper!

The hair looks 45 but I'm thinking 40 overall .... nice.

Thank you, all, very much for your comments and opinions on the grade.
I grade this cent conservatively around VF30 based on detail. However, what I consider noteworthy are the surfaces which are above the norm for cents
of the year 1800. Per the 'Encyclopedia of Early United States Cents 1793-1794' the cents of 1800 are one of the more difficult of the early dates (besides 1799)
to find with good surfaces.
John, this is an S-205. It shares obverse 17 with S-206, but the reverse is different. It was a difficult coin to attribute but it is definitely an S-205.
Once again, thanks for your comments!
