REVERSE OF 1797. WITH STEMS. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RED IS EXISTS ON GLOSSY SURFACES. CAC. The 2007 Guide Book of United States Coins lists four major varieties of the 1797 Draped Bust Cent. That described as the Reverse of 1797, Stems is attributable by a double leaf at the top right of the reverse wreath, a leaf arrangement of 16 left, 19 right and stems at the base of the wreath. This is the most plentiful of the four Guide Book varieties and, as such, examples enjoy steady demand among type collectors of United States coins. There are also numerous individual die marriages for the 1797 Reverse of 1797, Stems Cent, which means that the early Copper specialist will find fertile ground for their collecting passion with this variety. Of all die marriages, Sheldon-123 and Sheldon-135 are the two that appear most frequently in Mint State due to the inclusion of many examples in the Nichols Find.
