Being from the first batch does that improve on the probability of receiving a higher grade?

Coins are marked with a red pen/texta, none of them would grade at PCGS!!! They would all receive a details grade.

Downies will be the only winners with buyer premium

I think all coins would come back body bagged as genuine - 98. Regardless PCGS don't like planchet streaks, I cant imagine they would look favourably on a red pen on the rim/face of the coin.

Downies and RAM are relying on a signed certificate from CEO Ross McD for each coin to sell for huge markup on true value

Red marks or not, it will be interesting to see what the 2004 plain Eureka goes for!

It's just ink - dip it in acetone and it's no longer a problem.
