What are you looking at? I see the reverse, I see the slab, and I see the label. And, no, it is not a details slab. Try this page;...
"That stuff" is nitric, I assume. Just an educated guess (barely educated), those slabs are polycarbonate. If that is correct,you won't find...

Shouldn't #1 then say "Questionable Color"? I did get a couple of those. #2 - now there's a possibility.
As for the "O" in ONE, they are commonly weak. They did not say counterfeit and no one else has noticed anything. But, until I know what they...
I do not know what you think you are seeing, bu tI see nothing resembling a VDB anywhere on this coin either on the pics or in hand.
