It's just a combination of contact mark at the top of the ! and discoloration. It's not raised like it looks in the picture. Thanks for checking.
I'd attempt to rotate it before I did anything else. Tap the edge of the slab on a firm surface while you bring it down with a sweeping motion.
That's cool to know. I was just looking back, I bought this raw on ebay in 2012 for $97.14. Thanks for all the input!

Obverse looks 65. I'll go with that.
You guys are good. Several nailed it. Thx for playing! [ATTACH]
