• The sold version is flat bright yellow "Hard Rock", this original is the same die but the colors are translucent gold and came out darker. The very first printing (before the Hotel opened) Hard Rock Hotel did not like the colors, so they gave all away to a travel agent convention and re-colored the for sale version.
