The obverse is dominated by red-copper, with some hints of mustard, where the reverse is dominated by mustard-orange, sage-green, with a minority of the red-copper color. Abrasions are consistent with the grade, with less wear than expected on the reverse. Housed in a Generation 3.1 green label holder. Eckberg estimates 150 survivors, and notes that this die marriage is very rare in grades above Fine.
