Lincoln cent errors...slab or not?

I have 10 of these from a recent $20 exchange at the Bank for a "weekend's worth" of cents.

All I want to do is sell them on Ebay, but should I pay for the slabbing, etc? They are all in MS65 condition and match the description given on coppercoins site exactly.

What should I ask for them if they come back in these ANACS grades: MS64, MS65, AND MS66

    Without seeing pictures of your coins, nobody is going to be able to answer your question very well.

    Gut instinct tells me they will not be worth the hassle and expense of slabbing, but you never know.

    The jury is still out on whether there is a realistic market for these newer type doubled dies. No doubt they are doubled dies, but I haven't seen the level of interest in them yet from the certified buying die variety market to necessarily warrant placing them in holders. I would think to hold off on that idea until some time passes...these coins with the notching in LIBERTY are somewhat of a new idea, and haven't quite caught on like the Minnesota quarters - why, I don't know. The market is a bit fickle if you ask me. For the better part, these cent doubled dies are far more fascinating than the quarters.
