Not even close.
1795 S-76 The real question is does it have a lettered edge or a plan edge.  The lettered edge (S-76a) is an R-5 (31 to 75 known) and the plain edge (S-76b) is an R-1 (over 1000 estimated to exist)  The S-76 plain edge is the most common of the 1795 cents.  That said this is not in the typical condition seen.  This is a very desirable coin.

It is for us old timers.

He didn't say the chores wouldn't be done, just that he is giving up doing them.

And they paid them less.

Old expression.  Many years ago medicines, pills etc. especially bad tasting ones would be made with a sugar coating to make them more palatable or "easier to take"  it.  So "sugar coating" ones words would mean to express them in ways so as to make them gentler or easier to accept.  Non-offensive.

Those are also my arguments against it being the first.
Now it IS one of the first coins.  The die clearly had some polishing done to it to give the PL surfaces to the theoretical first/presentation coin and those polished surfaces were still present when this coin was struck.  Another proof of it being one of the first coins struck is that it is the earliest die stage known for the 1794 dollars, and is the only dollar known from this die stage.  So this could conceivably be the second dollar or at least one of the first few.

Don't.  Most coin video on Youtube are garbage and they would probably show you a lot of worthless mechanical doubling or Longacre doubling.

The OP coin is position B.

Or they only collect the non proof coins, which is what I would do if I collected that series.  I don't collect proofs.  I collect coins and I don't consider NCLT (Non-Circulating Legal Tender) to be coins.

I would suspect you would at least have to have a sales tax/resale permit, but those are easy to obtain.

Well with the way you are going I don't think I'm interested in the "answer", so I'm done with this thread.

Looks like it.

I agree genuine, and lightly cleaned, but I think it is more of an XF than a AU (No way is it Unc).  The slight raised area in the field in front of the face is a slight case of Progressive Indirect Design Transfer of the eagles wing from the reverse.  Not that unusual on capped bust halves.

Because even the HR would not have struck up well enough with a single strike of the press.  They would probably have come out of the press looking like a VF coin.

Would probably be worth more if it was known to have been sent to CAC and DIDN'T bean.  The bean means it is solid for the grade or high end for the grade.  If it didn't bean then it is LOW end for the PO-01 grade and since the goal is to get the lowest grade a bean reject would be the lower grade coin and so worth more.
