That being said, this is a pretty cool memento. What I think would look best is exactly what you said: Gold Paint Pen, but I'd want it above the circle. The problem is, paint pen is easy to smear. If he takes his time and gets it right, it'll look FANTASTIC. If it smears, well, you're out of luck.

There is no way I'd pay a man $400 to write "3,000." Heck, I'm probably going to get slammed by the purists on this, but before I'd pony up the money I'd get an artistic friend of mine to write the 3000 in there for me. Nobody is going to know, and I can't imagine you'll be selling this.

Ken is correct about the smearing issue. I would also add that paint pens require that they be shaken up really well to avoid skipping. I personally cringe whenever I have to use them on something that I can't replace. The cost of the project would eliminate this from my thought process. Sharpie's are a more reliable pen, bottom line. They work terrific on tickets.

BTW, do they still even make gold paint pens?
All I ever see is silver Sharpies these days at places like Office Max...

I actually believe Sharpie makes gold and bronze, in addition to the silver pen. If I go that route, I'd probably use the gold sharpie pen. That said, my biggest concern was smearing as well. Blue seems safest to me.

I agree Jon!
