  Wow.
  It was just sitting waiting for you to take a peek and see what you had.
  I should take my sets out and check all of them for varieties and etc.
  Someday!

  You most likely have a pointed 9 on the dime (vs blunt in regular ‘64 proof sets. I know why the original AH was changed to soften the hair, but have no idea why the 9 on the dime would have changed. Most if not all AH Kennedys have the pointed nine if I am not mistaken.

  Yep, back some years ago I had a set with the AH in it. Also had the pointed 9. Think I still have that, somewhere. Lol

  Thanks, I did notice that, but decided just to focus on the accented hair
