The obverse gradually changes to champagne, gold, and blue at the borders while the reverse has champagne, changing to steel and lilac peripheral toning.<BR> A later die state, the rim cud encroaches upon three star points and covers approximately four dentils. There is a crack across the bust and prominent clash marks in the fields.
