I got this at the Grapevine, TX show this last weekend...I'm considering getting it slabbed- what do you think?

    I think it probably looks better in hand.
    Pr64 about due to the surface mark near the L on the obverse if the picture is anywhere close to reality.
    If you had not stated it is a proof I would have never thought it was.

    In my experience, PCGS does not like color on Proofs. They will grade them, but usually a point or two lower than I expected. Could be my grading though. image

    Aside from preservation in a slab, probably not worth the cost. Cheers, RickO

    Unless you're trying to fill a slot in your set registry, probably not worth it.

    I agree but still think it's a great 54 year old coin.

    Slab it! WTH. image

    Go for it.

    Sure looks like a proof to me with the distinctive rim and type B reverse.

    I like it but probably not worth paying to have it slabbed.
