I'm fine with it, but I would add "Alabama Governor" before "Thomas Kilby".--Wehwalt (talk) 08:05, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Article has 13591 characters (expanded from 1758 characters beginning on June 3). The article is well-cited throughout, mainly from offline sources. The hook is supported by a book I can't access, but I verified the main part of the hook fact through the US Mint's website. Image licensing looks fine (though I'll admit I'm not an expert on that!). I find the hook interesting – no preference whether you add "Alabama Governor" to it nor not. Nice work! Ruby 2010/2013 18:20, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
