I'll guess at the variety. S-121?

To be precise, it's S120-B, distinguished from an S121-B by the different orientation of Liberty's forebrow under the letters. It extends all the way under the "T" in S120, and not quite so far in S121.  |

I agree with CAC. That's a pretty choice example for the date, looks problem-free, just good honest circulated wear from 200+ years of handling.

The date spacing doesn't look wide enough to me to be the S-120. I still think it's either a S-121 or NC-1.

You're definitely right that it could be called NC-1 (a non-collectible), but I don't think it can be can't be 121 because Liberty's head has a different orientation.

Comparing the 120 and 121 it is safe to say it is certainly not the 120. Double check your attribution pristine2.

I've been doing some more comparison with photos in the Dan Holmes sale catalog and I'm pretty sure it's the 121. The date and LIBERTY spacing and location match the 121, but neither match the 120.
