It looks awful clean, but unless you think it’s a lock for MS67 or higher, I wouldn’t...unless you just want to stabilize the color or something.
It’s a pretty nickel.
I want to stabilize the color. I'd hate to forget about it and come back years later to see a hot mess of darkness.
Then definitely don’t leave it in the Dansco. Maybe cointainer or something, or just send it in with a larger economy order
Based on the pictures, absolutely.

An airtite is a good solution, or, snap together blank slabs for private use are also available. Cheers, RickO
I like it
Do it!

I love war nickels!
Agreed...
S mint...sure why not
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Go for it!!
I'm always for slabbing anything worth preserving regardless of value.
I can't really imagine the obverse getting any better color than it has currently - and there is a risk it darkens. It is ripe for the picking and slabbing! Very attractive war nickel!
That is one stunning Jeff. I generally don’t care for strong toning, but yours is really nice. I think it has a shot at 67+ given the color, clean fields and solid strike. It has the one mark that blends in pretty well above the third pillar, and it’s not full steps, but it’s gorgeous.
To preserve it, I would at a minimum put it in a Kointain-like holder. Given your other nice coins in tpg holders, getting it graded by our hosts would be also be a good choice.
Either option will get that beautiful coin off of your countertop (please tell me that’s not concrete/granite in the background) and help preserve it.
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

That one would probably bring a big toning premium in today's market. It also has a shot at a high grade so even I say go ahead and have it slabbed.
Do the letters in the word united, reduce its ceiling? I am weak at grading, so I am just asking the question. The color and jaw line look great.

I seriously doubt it.

Awesome looking coin. Absolutely think it would would be worth a shot. If nothing else get it in a snap-tite in the mean time.

for a coin like this, fwiw, i would submit it with a few other coins on the economy tier to keep the cost down. if you do submit coins fairly often, also check into private insurance. a basic analysis will tell you if you will be saving a bundle on insurance or not.
if you do, remember to share the order with us. i think we all love that around here!
Sure why not
I would...

Beautiful example, with wonderful toning. Absolutely!

I would submit in a batch. Singly the cost would be too high for my blood. But, I would submit if it were mine.
bob
Yes
Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
One more “yep” from me.
In that case.................Go for it!
Pete
From that picture, it looks really nice, but it looks like if you put more light on the chin, you may have a nasty gash.
I most definitely would submit it.
I say submit it...I had the exact same thing with this Jefferson- too pretty to live in a Dansco and I didn’t want to see it deteriorate. Looks better where it is now.
Beautiful coin..submit..to ngc lol
CFA, LSU AND ANA
I want to stabilize the color.
if that's what you want to do, remove it, rinse it in acetone to remove contaminants from the album and store it in something stable. a PCGS holder is no guarantee to stop that tone where it is; if it has something on it, it'll continue to tone.
Yes. My opinion. Beautiful coin should be saved.

Yes, I would submit it.
Absolutely!
Stunningly beautiful coin. (Nice photography too.)
absolutely, and spend the extra $5 for secure service. That is a beautiful nickel
Absolutely gorgeous obverse color! I'd slab it.
