Crossover grading question

I have a 1959 Lincoln cent that is graded by ICG at MS67RD, any opinions on submitting to PCGS even if I am satisfied with the current grade from ICG.
Basically, I am trying to figure out if it is worth getting a coin slabbed in a PCGS case at the same grade if it is currently in an ICG case.

I would guess in it's current holder you would be lucky to get 200 bucks !
Obvioulsly getting that grade from PCGS will be a tough path, but seems to be worth the $20 to try. Now I have to figure to crack or not to crack.
Thanks

Speaking in broad generalities, there's a simple reason why an ICG 67RD sells for $200 while a PCGS 67RD sells for $2,000 -- the coin-buying marketplace tends to not believe ICG grading.
The sub-message here is, an ICG 67RD almost certainly won't be a 67RD at PCGS, whether submitted raw or in the holder. As such, I would urge you to be very cautious about cracking out the ICG coin and sending it in raw, because it might come back a 65.
