Unless you think it will come in at MS67, but I f it was pulled from circulation I would venture to guess it won't. It's still a nice clean coin though and you could put it in a 2x2 or capsule to keep it safe. After much asking and reading this is what I've boiled down to as far as slabbing- if it is a high value coin or something that is known to be counterfeited slab it. I now the term high value doesn't help much, but you have to figure in the cost of the TPGs fees and whether or not people would be willing to pay the premium for it. Let's say you buy coin X for $75 and you know that book at its grade is $150+ why not. That's not a formula, just an example of how I look at it. You'll probably fetch a premium if it's graded by one of the big dogs and buyers that can't distinguish between a MS64 ad an MS65 (like me) will be more likely to bite on its sale. Do you have a Red Book to reference? Also, if you don't already use it, download photograde ok your smartphone or tablet. It's a very helpful tool.[/QUOTE]
