We notice that during the 1960's era of Federal Reserve Notes, that the paper color was more similar to that used in the 1950s. With the changeover to the 1990's era FRNs, the Crane Company, the long term supplier of U.S. Currency paper, started using a paper with slightly more yellowish cast. This specific note screams originality and is as nice a specimen as we've seen.
