PCGS Prototype With Handwritten Label
Tom Caldwell of Northeast Numismatics writes:

Peace Silver Dollar PCGS Prototype Handwritten Label OGH (1st Gen)

A fascinating early PCGS prototype label, showing how a coin with an unknown date could be certified by PCGS as a type coin. This particular Peace dollar no longer has any of the date showing, and it was assigned PCGS # 7355.00 (7355 is the PCGS # for the Peace Dollar type) and certification number 1146113 (which is not valid in the PCGS database, likely because it was never part of an official submission #/pick-up; certification numbers generally go live when they are picked up by the submitter).

This was produced in 1989/1990, with handwriting confirmed to be by PCGS employee Steve Rocky. In addition, PCGS has recently confirmed the holder, label and coin are all genuine and has not been tampered with in any way.

On Banning Liberty Dollar Exhibits
An E-Sylum reader writes:

As noted in the previous article, eBay and the Central States Numismatic Society have banned Liberty Dollars from their venues. Humbug! I'm too young to be an old hippie, but I think the government is way overreaching on this. I understand CSNS' position, but wish the numismatic community would take a stand on the issue. Fighting these fights isn't always futile. The hobby worked with the government to roll back oppressive rules on the trading of Confederate currency, and the lawsuit over the seized Farouk 1933 $20 gold piece resulted in its legalization. Are we all gonna be weenies and roll over on this one?

Probably. There may be a small collector community for Liberty dollars, but no powerful hobby voices with a vested interest. But if Liberty Dollars are banned, what about other alternate currencies, past and present? Are Ithica Hours counterfeits? What about Nickolas Veeder's Eutopia dollars or Lewis Feuchtwanger's issues? They were proposed alternative coins, too.
