Hi folks,
I've not been around for a while (lack of money to buy new money) but today I was about to give my friend a 20 cent piece for a vending machine when I noticed it was a 1966 so I decided to check for the elusive wavy 2. It's a bit beaten up from being in my wallet(and whatever other travels it's had) but what do you folks think?

No, it isn't, but I see why you asked the question.

with enworb. My 42" screen with my head 10" away sees a bump in the 2 - just my 2c.

Thanks for the comments folks. I'll take a couple more pics tomorrow to show the condition as well and other angles. Yep enworb is right 1966.

Can't believe I almost gave it away.

Without that lighting flare, and with the 1966 date confirmed, you have changed my mind for me.
I now agree. Definitely a wavy '2'.

This one is definitely NOT a wavy, but the seller is not convinced!
