And they're more than happy to take soon-to-be-worthless birdcage-liner fiat bucks in exchange for it. Kinda makes you go "hmm"...
They had to use heroic measures to draw platinum out finer than gold (coat it with silver, then draw, then etch away the silver). It looks like...
Why, oh why, couldn't they have produced a standard uncirculated finish that looks like an original Peace dollar?
I haven't yet found an India Pale Ale strong enough to dissolve Sharpie marks, but I won't give up the search.
Not at all likely, but if you're nervous about it, try wiping a corner of the slab.

The 60% feedback is because his last two FBs were negatives, for not delivering on auction wins. Both say that he gave a refund, which means eBay...
I noticed that too, but again couldn't think of a treatment that would completely spare the reverse. I wondered if maybe some foreign substance...
I'm no paper money guy, but I'm trying to imagine how someone would have altered only one side, and only one printing -- and I'm coming up blanker...
Well, duh. It is the most ductile metal. ;)
