Is this Morgan a slabable coin or should I put it back into my pocket?

I've always admired Braddick's (Pat) and others, best of the worst type coins. Whenever I go into a coin shop I'm always on the lookout for worn out but original coins. Usually all I find are problem coins, scratched, bent, holed, etc. These original worn out problem free classics are really tough to find.

On Saturday I found the best, or is that the worst worn out Morgan I've ever found, it's a 1921 S. The pics I took with my scanner just can't pickup the date or the mint mark, but they can be clearly seen in person without any magnification.
Should I have this one slabbed to preserve this piece of history forever or just put it back into my pocket? What do you think the grade would be?

I doubt it would be slabbed

Poor details, net poor with damage. You'll need to send it to ANACS, PCGS and NGC will bag it for the damage.

Too bad it has nicks all around the rims

Is the damage your talking about the marks on by the rim? With a glass it looks like excessive wear. The marks are perfectly spaced.

Oh well, back into my pocket it goes!!

Sad, but true. But hey, no one said it would be easy (just fun and inexpensive!)...

I'll take care of those rims...

What a gem! Ya know there's a service out there who might even slab it as MS-66!

Ok ok., maybe not 66, but 65.

I don't think Eric was talking about the areas around the rim.
More likely, the marks (look like scratches) around liberty's chin, face, etc.....keys scratching it or something maybe?

I believe the $1,000 challenge was for a FR02 Ike dollar? And it has to grade at PCGS, which means no problems. That Morgan wouldn't qualify because of the edges.

Back in the pocket, but don't lose it! It's slick enough to be cool, in that backwards, Braddicky way.

Awesome coin. Too bad about the marks around the rim. I wonder how such marks got on the coin. I can't imagine somebody putting a worn out morgan in a bezel.
