That last part in the quote doesn't appear to be the case with this bar, from what I can see, can you confirm m8? IF not, then you may have something even rarer than you thought....
Thank you! Great addition.
Just to be clear, this bar does NOT have any intentional pen markings that obfuscate the first bits (see pics). By obfuscate I mean pen lines through it.

I thought that this would be fun to add into for your post this is straight from Elias Encyclopedia First Edition Page 113:
" The 2-Factor Storage Bar uses complex two factor authentication to access the stored BTC value once it is sent to the bar.
these bars have their public address laser printed onto them, as well as 'casascius.com/2factor' which explains how the bars work.
In order to redeem the bar, on emust not only tear the hologram to retrieve the private key, but combine it with another code provided at purchase.
If a 2-Factor bar is sold, the seller will have the other part of the code, but is not able to access the funds as long as the hologram is intact.
For an unknown reason, all the first-bits appear to be intentionally obscured by black pen markings"

COMPLETE Casascius Bearer Bar 2FA
Sealed Bar + Envelope + Passphrase + Confirmation Code
Sealed Bar + Envelope + Passphrase + Confirmation Code
Now is your chance to own an EXTREMELY RARE Casascius Bearer Bar 2FA. Out of the thousands of Casascius, this is ONE OF FIVE Casascius products that have Mike Caldwell hand-written first bits.
ONE OF ONLY THREE still intact!
But wait, there's more. This bar is still sealed in its ORIGINAL plastic wrap and includes the ORIGINAL manilla envelope. COMPLETE with passphrase and confirmation code to prove the passphrase corresponds to the bar. Moreover, the passphrase is something that adds to the provenance/history of the bar and is NOT random.

- Passphrase + Confirmation Code, provided digitally and via paper hardcopy
AUTHENTICATION
PGP-Signed message from Minerjones dated February 5th 2020 that attests to the authenticity of the bar:
February 5th 2020 I, minerjones, attest to the best of my knowledge and expertise, that the two (2) items bought by tothemoonsands are real and authentic. [First item redacted here] The second item is a Casascius 2-factor gold plated bearer bar. It has the address of 1KU2xFRFN7URPjA6EPq2j8NSp4hurbduAJ. The first bits seen in the window of the hologram are matching the four (4) character in the public address after the first character "1". The bar appears to be in the original plastic overlay and also came with the original small yellow-orange envelope. The hologram is not tampered with and appears to be a genuine Series 2 Casascius hologram.
