Ancient: To slab, or not to slab?

Ok, so this is a coin that I really love and will be in my collection for a long while.

It is a brockage, and practically unique. I've only seen one other that was similar (much better than mine though).

I have been thinking about getting it slabed by NGC.. I can't find any do-it-yourself slabs that will hold a 17mm coin.


So....thoughts...should I or shouldn't I. I know that slabs are frowned upon in the ancient coin world, but it will be in my collection, and I have no plan to sell it any time soon. (it is actually the key to my collection..lol):


I provided link, becuase I don't want this image uploaded on photobucket, and don't know of any other sites that you can keep your copyright of the picture:

    That's up to you. For protection, I say slab, but I would use ANACS and not NGC.

    the truth is that I would definitely slab it, as a way of "proving" it's authenticity, especially with the abundance of counterfeits coming out of China.
