Comment:
A little more than a dozen examples of this pattern variety are known, and a few have been gilt to represent gold impressions of this die combination. The obverse displays mahogany color with hints of pale green and light orange. The reverse shows bright greenish-gold color with iridescent toning.
Like many others, these examples are sometimes called transition pattern issues, although they were likely not struck until 1869.
