Please see the images for further details on the condition of the coin.

The Draped Bust large cent first appeared in mid-1796 as a replacement for the former Liberty Cap design. The new obverse was paired with three different reverses (Reverse of 1794, Reverse of 1795, and a new reverse that would continue through 1807). 1796 large cents also include a LIHERTY obverse (the "H" is actually a B over inverted B) and a Stemless reverse. 1797 large cents are found with normal and stemless reverses, gripped and plain edges.
