Old NGC slab...1899 IHC Opinions

I've had this Indian Head Cent for awhile and remember a thread about the old (NGC 3?) NGC slabs. I was about to crack it to put the coin in my 7070, but vaguely remember someone saying these slabs carry a premium. Do they? If so, I think it would make more sense to leave it alone. The coin is accurately graded IMO and is a nice mellow red.

I remember a thread (which of course I can't find now) which mentioned this slab type and indicated that they sell for a premium, presumably to someone who WANTS this slab type. It is a nice coin and would look great in my album, but as mentioned, it is a common date. The ideal situation would be to sell the slabbed coin for a premium and buy a nice, raw coin with the proceeds. And pocket the difference of course.
