The special numismatic wrapping for the coin rolls displays the name “Frederick Douglass National Historic Site”; the abbreviation “DC” for the District of Columbia; “$10,” the face value of its contents; and “P,” “D,” or “S” for the mint of origin. The canvas bags have a tag with “Frederick Douglass National Historic Site”; “DC”; and “P,” “D,” or “S.”
