The obverse is slightly better while the reverse is a bit weaker (which is typical for Draped Bust 1796 cents), the AG3+ grade an average of the two. Glossy steel brown and chocolate. No roughness or verdigris, only minor contact marks consistent with the grade including a collection of tiny ticks under the hair ribbon and more left of the O in ONE. The bottom edge of the date is starting to wear in to the rim but it is easily readable and nearly complete. EDS. A decent low-grade example of this tough die variety. Ex Joe V.
