But, it's the wrong date. :)
Maybe he had 7? :P
In the "you keep using that word; I do not think it means what you think it means" department: [ATTACH]...
It's genuine. One of the closeups shows the raised line from the B that indicates it's obverse die 2:...
I don't recall seeing a phone booth in many years, but I have seen working payphones.
XF details, cleaned and fugly.

That would be interesting.
Don't forget the envelope! That's worth something, IMO.
Yes there is.
Hard to tell from the picture. Usually a die crack isn't going to be that straight and thick though.
Listed here as bronze (looks silver plated to me though), minted in 1970 by the Franklin Mint. There should be a hallmark on the edge that says...
