Dark copper surfaces are microscopically rough due to light porosity, although there are no sizeable marks. Shallow curved planchet clip at 2 o'clock relative to the obverse. The final year 1796 is one of the scarcer datesin the Liberty Cap cent series, examples popular with collectors at all levels of preservation. PCGS# 35774. NGC ID: 223V.
