Very nice, I sometimes worry about DH.

65? Yes.

Technically, it's held down from 66 territory by some light scratches on the neck, but the beard and face are immaculate for surface quality. But it's the lustre of the coin (well nigh impossible to capture), and that bit of rose tone on the obverse which make me sigh, happily into the night!!
