  What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

  Sorry about the picture. I'm still working on my photography skills.

  64 probably in a 5 holder.

  Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

  MS62 because I hardly ever see them grade these 60 or 61.

  Dragon was correct, she is MS61. I was looking for an "inexpensive" one, and I found this. She has a pretty large hit below the eye that my poor photography skills didn't capture. She didn't quite get PL, but was close. She also has a couple of die cracks which I normally don't like.

  Well I kinda said 61. Serious, I very seldom see them grade these 60 or 61. Usually they just put a 62 on it.
  
  From what I've seen for quite some time anyway.

  The first picture had me thinking MS-64 holder, MS-63 coin. The second picture, which shows up MUCH better has me thinking MS-62 coin in MS-61 holder.

  Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  My guess was ms63. Now that I see the holder, and the much larger pic...... I still think it should be at least 62 (for a CC).

  SNIKT!
  You are doing well, subject 15837. You are a good person.

  Thank you all for your kind comments. I got her last year raw for only $260 because she was relatively cheap and still nice looking (good luster, decent strike, and semi-PL fields). I could not afford one already slabbed. I took these pictures with a 5 megapixel camera in macro mode set to 1 megapixel resolution because I'm having problems trying to keep the file size down (still learning).
