PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows. I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
I'm in Levick's camp. This is like looking in the mirror. >>
I was guessing Father Guido Sarducci at first, but the image (sepia print?) seems contemporaneous with Levick's earlier activities. Perhaps the same family tree? That smile and sparkle are pure Guido. There is mischief in mind Likely it has already been performed and he is just waiting to tell you.

It's B. Max Mehl in 1896 at the age of twelve taken soon after his family moved to Ft. Worth, Texas. Mehl was already dealing at this age, having begun collecting at ten. This image (only the head) was used in some of Mehl's advertising. Ex Mehl estate, Kosoff, Stocker. If anyone is aware of an earlier image of Mehl, please let me know.
It hangs in my office;
