Would you slab a nicely toned common date Morgan?

We see so many really nicely toned common date Morgans here in the 63-64 range.
I'm not talking monster toning just really nice with some color.

The slab is going to add $20 bucks or so to the cost in the coin.

Wondering how you feel about this.
I keep thinking I'm getting a bit slab happy.

    If its a coin with pretty color that you plan on keeping why slab. Most colors can be seen better without the slab. If I were going to sell one of mine, I would slab it just to prove its NT. Otherwise, it would remain raw.

    Personally, if I didn't think the toning was going to add a significant premium to the morgan, I would just leave it raw....

    In general, yes. But it would have to look good. If I had doubt about the tone, I wouldn't buy it in the first place. I don't know toning that well, so if buying it would have to be slabbed before I bought it. (I know it sound like I am talking in circles--and that is how I really feel about tone coins--confused.)
