It is a 1796, Reverse of 1795 Sheldon-99, which is an R-5 variety. The remaining reverse detail narrows it down to either S-99 or NC-4, and the remaining portion of the date matches that of S-99 (date spaced 1-7-96, 6 not touching bust). My first R-5 large cent.

Getting both at the same time? Well I’ll <i>gladly</i> take that. Graysheet on this variety is $400 in AG, and this one is worth… well does it really matter? It’s one of about 50 known.
