Chocolate brown surfaces come alive with bold neon blue and rose iridescence in a bright light source, with blue the dominant factor. Sharply struck and aesthetically appealing. The uspatterns.com website notes: "Although these are described as regular die trial pieces in the standard references, these were deliberately struck for sale to collectors as part of complete off-metal sets. Examples were struck as follows: Copper, Judd-739, with about a half dozen known." PCGS# 70966. PCGS Population: 2; none finer within any designation.
