I ran the Morse through a translator, and it appears to say 23/2077 on one side and 11/2281 on the other side. Those are the date of mint and date of rediscovery of the Platinum Chip! It's a tiny detail, but I love to see little bits of care going into collectible items. It's really a lost art.
I believe so. I bought it secondhand just because I'm a big fan.
