The 1796 first: Would this even make AG? Red Book says AG-3 = Clear enough to identify. I was able to identify it :smile [IMG]http://www.paulbryanphoto.com/temp/1796_ob_sm.jpg[/IMG] The reverse is nearly warn smooth, you can make out a few letters in the USA if you angle it into the light just right.
