Well, it should be an interesting day. I would have applied to go had it not meant a flight and one or two hotel nights. The 85 minute panel...

For Batman, the entire coin should be black. No need for gold.
I was about to cite the Mint's mutilated coin redemption procedure, but then noticed that they only redeem mutilated current coins at bullion...
