<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 1850728, member: 5036"]The cents of 1796 have four different reverse types. The reverse of 1795 and 1796 are known by their single leaves at the top of tea wreath, while the reverses of 1794 and 1797 have a double leaf at the top right of the wreath. The reverses of 1794 and 1797 can be further differentiated by the number of leaves in the branch below the O in OF. In 1794 there are two leaves in 1797, three. Because this coin has a double leaf at the top right and a double leaf under the O, it is classified as a reverse of 1794. Given that there are 28 die marriages in 1796 knowing which of the four reverses you are looking at is an important factor in figuring out the sheldon number. <a href="http://Www.largecents.net" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://Www.largecents.net" rel="nofollow">Www.largecents.net</a> has a great photo library for comparison, which I've found to be a good resource when used in conjunction with Penny Whimsy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
