Deciding if its worth to grade. NGC or PCGS. Cost difference. How can you have it graded with COA on label. Worth more sealed. I have raw and graded set. Better value raw or graded.

It depends I only wanted the special certificate graded as I feel the paper alone with the coin will give it a Providence along with the lowest mintage. (At least LM for now). So I decided to spend the Extra $100.00 for grading. 69 or 70 does not really matter. (70 of course would be encouraged)
I am also a collector of different holders which goes against many here but that what’s I like to collect. It’s only a rarity that the coin is worth more than I paid. Now if I were to compare this to ALL the other Mint products this has been successful one. The rest are sitting in the vault in their original UNOPENED MINT BOXES collecting darkness.
Yep I have lots of US Mint coins sealed in boxes. Lots going back 25 years forward.

I've decided to send it in for a few reasons.
1) It's for my collection, so it's not staying in a box. Value isn't a concern for me.
2) Authentication for both the coin and a potentially rare CoA. (I can't believe I'm saying I want to authenticate a CoA. Well, I guess it's no different that playing the serial number game with a C&C set...)
3) All of my other special finish ASE's in my personal collection are in plastic, and my OCD probably couldn't stand looking at a potential key in an airtite, lol...
Can you certify any COA even if not signed. Can you have the coa number put on the label. Seen some NGC with via number. Difference between sealed and open box.

If one is paying $750 for the coin why quibble over a few bucks difference in grading cost?
I plan to keep mine raw (if it ever arrives in the mail!). I don’t plan to resell it, and I don’t really feel too compelled to grade a super high grade modern coin, so I am happy with it raw. I’ll probably keep the coin (in its capsule) in a plastic bag with silica desiccant packets to slow down spotting/discoloration.
(Knowing my luck, I’ll probably open mine up and see the #00001 signed COA and be kicking myself for not grading it.)
All I can say is they got MORE MONEY THAN I COULD AFFORD! I live on a budget a SMALL BUDGET.
Some where I got a Special ASE with a Limited Signed Certificate that sold out fast back in 2016. It’s tucked away in the vault maybe I should dig it out later and snap a picture. Seemed like a good deal then in very short time ALL SOLD OUT! So there are Crazy people like willing to pay a few bucks extra for stuff like that. It was a NGC thing. Never seen a promotion like that again. This would be the closest thing but seems more official. That NGC promotion was a Post Issue.
I FOUND IT LOOKS LIKE I got a few. But No Spots yet maybe I should put them on the Bay with ALL THE CRAZINESS.
I just looked on eBay. Could not find that label. Some of the pf70 fdi were five to 6 c notes!

If your referring to the coin I posted. I was only showing the special signed certificate that came with that coin back in 2016. I don’t even know who the signature is. Only to show how a piece of paper goes as a pair with the coin. It was a special promotion. The 2019-S Reverse Proof coin also comes with a certificate. PCGS is going to Issue a Seperate Numbered Cert to the coin. I thought that was Special. Now if you were not referring to my picture sorry for butting in. Apologies.
A lot of discussion over the COA's with the 2019 ERP...If I got one (and I did not), I would not know what to do with a COA...I sure do not collect them... guess they would just age gracefully in an envelope somewhere...
I would not want to slab it since it is not a coin.... Maybe just give it away to someone here who collects them... If I had one, but I do not.... 
Cheers, RickO
I believe the answer is Yes, in order to maximize the current and future value.
in my submission I asked for the coa to be slabbed only if it is one with the mint director's signature (the golden ticket) I also asked that they put the coa number on the label since this is the first coin with an actual 1-30,000 count attached. some debate about adding the first strike designation because obviously it's the only strike but I always liked the look of it and the american flag so I opted to add that as well. this is my first time ever having something graded. I can't wait to get the results. shooting in the dark so to speak.
Encapsulated: Yes for both.
Possible problem: Where to put the encapsulated COA.
This issue is about making money. How can you make the most money with it?
Yes. I will grade it regardless of the value. There had been too many stories and problems with coin inheritances . As my collection grows, the least I can do is to provide less headaches for my love ones when the time come.
Gray replies. Thanks guy. Never ever sent in a coin for grading after 25+ years of collecting. Kind of confusi,g with this coin..coa, fs and all.
Last question. Should I send in sealed box or does it make a difference if I open it. What is the differences??

It’s a BIG DIFFERENCE IF YOU OPEN IT!!!!!!
Rules say IT MUST NOT BE OPEN IT MUST BE SEALED FROM THE MINT !!!!
Or you WILL NOT GET THE DUAL INCAPSULATION PROCESS. Their rules BOTH PCGS and NGC.
Should be sold with alacrity.
Sometimes you gotta shoot your ducks. This is not a keeper.
