No, it is not Uncirculated and that packaging is not from the U.S. Mint.
The package doesn't claim that it is uncirculated, so it is what it is. The coin has seen notable circulation.

MS=Mint State=Uncirculated
This is none of those. Secondary market packaging designed to appear as if came from the mint.

It's worth about $16 and you can toss the box.

It appears to be have been polished to no end so it's pretty much worth just the silver content.

It does not look uncirculated; I would be at EF-45 Details.

XF details, cleaned. When coins like this that are very old come in a package like this (except for holders from grading companies such as PCGS or NGC, or the GSA Morgan dollar), you can usually throw away the package. Coins in such packages are often cleaned to look like MS (uncirculated) coins, while they are really XF or AU coins that have been cleaned. |

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
