ITEM No.: 26 CD No.: 134 EMBOSSING: (base) Am Insr Co Patd Sept 13 '81 COLOR: Bright yellow olive green. CONDITION: Some flaking and nibbling, mostly to the sharp wire ridge. Dome ping. SUMMARY: A very scarce color that is difficult to describe. Some may say that it leans toward a glowing citrine. The aqua and light green shades found in these American CD 134s can be easily obtained, but any of the stronger shades of green are extremely challenging to acquire. This example has not seen a public offering in well over 20 years. It is clearly evident that the sharp upper wire ridge was especially prone to damage, with most having some degree of flaking or chipping. The ridge flaking on this example is considered to be comparatively minor and should be of little concern if you are considering this illusive gem. It displays vividly under any light source.
