Depends upon what it looks like.
That was a nice gesture by both of you.
Aside from the liquidity gained from a greater confidence in authenticity, I do not see much upside in slabbing what would otherwise be pure bullion.
If the schmutz is on the coin it could be a case of a partial fingerprint with other gunk that was not readily visible when graded, but that...
The 1939 WQ is an excellent choice for type sets since these are typically very well struck, have good luster and can be found in superb gem for...
No. I do not think this was a good investment, but the downside is obviously incredibly small. Modern coins often go in under the bulk grading...

Please note that what I am writing in this post is based entirely on your images, which sometimes can lead folks to different conclusions than if...
I realize that I am not necessarily known on these boards as someone familiar with WQs, but I specialized in this series for years and my niche...
