Hahaha, dont worry the OP and I have gotten to be rather good friends! Weve exchanged 164 PM's, and he is my mentor in this series. One good guy with a great eye for these coins. Three of my best have came from him!
Im delighted for him, totally delighted! When he tells you the grade, you'll be astonished!
BTW, I redone the images in black for him, and rotated them to a nice angle.
After this holiday is over...and the mail flows again, you shall be treated to seven more stories
Since I already know the answer....all I will tell you is ONE of you is pretty close
QDB estimates between 22 to 27 surviving examples.
When you see the wreath tops solidly joined, as they are on this coin....thats a proof. Business strikes, no matter how prooflike, are not a proof without this feature.

MS 66 (PL only if graded by NGC, as PCGS doesn't give the PL designation).

To be fair it is almost impossible to grade a proof from a photo.
