To slab or not?

I won this beautiful proof SAE door prize at the Buena Park show today,

complete with original mint packaging and COA.

I don't collect SAEs in particular, or proofs in general.

Question 1: Is the coin better off (read valuable) in the high-number PR slab it would surely rate,

or in its original mint plastic container inside a plush velvet box, inside a cardboard box, with COA?

Question 2: Why

Only a 69 or 70 would command a price higher than if it were left in the box, imo, just because of the registry game...

Take a REAL good look with a 10X loupe. If it's a 2002 especially, you may find that it's got some pretty good hits on it.
