Bold chocolate-brown with sea-blue accents when turned under a light source. Intense luster and exceptional visual appeal is also reported on this premium Gem example. Unusually well struck with only minor weakness on star 1. Very clean surfaces show no mentionable marks, even under close inspection. Without magnification, it is glistening and looks nearly flawless. The early state of the dies with good definition in the dentils save for the aforementioned area that was affected by the strike.
