Bad e-bay purchase?

received earlier this week an add on lens. it's an olympus A-200 and was advertised as "never been used" and "still in box" well it's in not horrible shape except I think someone damaged the rear element from cleaning. (also it definatly has been used, quite a bit judging by the threads).
here is the rear element
The front element is perfect
Is there any help for that rear element ? I tried a lens pen on it and none of the marks moved. I think it may have been cleaned with something that etched the coating. but it's hard to tell.
