    What is that dark splotchyness on the reverse?
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
  • The dark splotchyness on the reverse is the outline of the Snow Leopard. Are you more excited about the bi-metal or that it's a Snow Leopard? Do you know anything about the Snow Leopard issues from Mongolia? Treat the plastic capsule just like you would the coin!!!!!
