It was in my safe deposit box 
I just love visiting my safe deposit box.
This coin has nice toning, maroon to blue and violet at the rim. It has watery fields and some frost on the devices. PCGS gave it a 65. I think it deserves a bonus for eye appeal.
Why are great coins hard to image? I can get a little frost, or good color, or the watery, fabulous mirrors but not all three in the same image!

Great Walker Carl. Pic looks fine, but I'm sure it looks even better in person!

"The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD GOD Almighty."
In the pre-Registry Set days, a 5 often had contact marks on Miss Liberty's skirt, body and or head which you could easily see with the naked eye. If this was not the case, the obverse field was 'busy.'
"Seu cabra da peste,
"Sou Mangueira......."
But, you've got your colors all wrong - it should be something along
the lines "dazzling white center fading to rich burgandy with royal
blue and amber peripheries"
that's a nice , solid coin. liberty seems to be striding off the face of the coin, almost giving it a three-dimensional appearance. THAT has got to be very close to what the designer wanted us to see!
