Well I must say this was a much stronger response then I had expected so thanks for all the interest.
This coin I do believe to be MS, the rub spots that have been talked about are I think due to the week strike (see stars (both sides)and die cracks(both sides) telling me this was mostly a later stage die paring do to the high mintage.
as far as the envelope goes I just liked how you can tell that this coin has not been touched in years.
I did learn quite a bit more about this coin from this thread so thanks for all the great information guys.

I sent this coin in some time back, today I saw it at my bank and thought I would take some new photos and update this thread.

I am sure if the coin was dipped it would have been a 65/66
If I had it my way, stupidity would be painful!
<< <i>Wow, sure looks nicer than a 64! >>
I agree.
