I think most people that want one would want it in a NGC or PCGS slab. I know I would want it in a PCGS slab.
Donate it to General Mills for a tax write off. Let them reinsert it into a box of Cheerios and market it. Then all the collectors will have a shot at it, albeit with high odds. This would be a marketing ploy for GM to sell many boxes as well.

That should be at least a 10% added value, but get Ken's signature to complete it.

Got it out of the SDB today and looked at it again. Looking at one side only through the plastic I see no reason why it could not grade MS-69, but I have been out of the grading game too long to understand madern grading.
What might a PCGS MS-69 be worth?

+1 Rick Snow has the right idea. Have all of your important coins well-identified, with estimated values and instructions as to which auctioneer is best suited to handle them in the event of your demise.

Tom, what Rick said applies especially to you; the same advice wouldn't apply to Joe Schmo collector (such as myself) -- only the coin or coins I'd leave behind would, they'd need to speak for themselves. And the coins ultimately always have to. But in your case, a detailed writeup from a noted numismatic author and long-time authenticator would have to be a value-add, IMO.
Leave it raw with instructions of what you think needs to be done with it, how to go about it and who to deal with. I do not plan on taking a dirt nap anytime soon but I do keep a notebook in the safe with notes and inventory. Of course my wife may do something totally different but what would I care at that point?
If I go out the slow suffering route I will take care of everything before I cash out to make it easy on my wife.

You should sell that coin before General Mills goes through one of their clean out the warehouse and kick out the employees cycles and finds a bag of those in the cello wraps.
Well, it graded MS-68 by our hosts. Sure was hoping for an MS-69.

It's probably good that it's out of that plastic pack, no telling what it would do over time. I opened some cents in those and they had a pattern from the plastic.
I would also recommend making it easy on your spouse. Liquidate everything you cannot bear to live without now/soon.

You should document your entire collection as part of your estate planning. List what you have, how much you paid, special notes, how it should be disposed of, who should handle the sale, etc. Don't treat your Cheerios dollar any differently and do whatever gives you the most enjoyment out of it - as is, slabbed, etc.
Then just enjoy your collection and live your life without worrying about it.
I told you it was nice! Coulda shoulda woulda got a 69!!!

I think it would be neat to have it in one of the PCGS double coin holders showing the front and the back along with your pedigree. That would just be to cool and worth 2x the money (lol)
