Look at the "shaving cut" beneath TJ's ear. That's no 66 or 67, and 65 would surprise me. It's lovely, as mentioned, but I don't see any kind of...

It certainly looks prooflike to me, but you'll want somebody with more specialist experience to answer this one. I take it most of the hairlines...
Exactly. Welcome!
New theme: Let's switch the theme to exonumia in general. Tokens, medals, notgeld, etc.
