1884-S Morgan: NCS "UNC Details" or ANACS "MS60 Details"

Hi all,
I currently have a bit of a heartbreaker 1884-S Morgan with outstanding full luster and eye appeal that would grade MS62-63 if it weren't for a scratch on the reverse that got it body bagged. Anyway, I am running low on funds for the coin budget and am thinking about selling the coin - but first need to get it slabbed. I was just wondering which you think would realize a higher price:
1) NCS with "UNC Details"
2) ANACS with "MS60 Details"
3) PCGS "Genuine" (I figured this would be a poor choice because of how important it is that the coin be acknowledged as MS)
It's sort of an interesting situation as this coin of course skyrockets in price in MS - I'm not sure if a buyer would be more interested in "MS60" details or "UNC" details (then similarly NCS or ANACS).
Any suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated - I know of course that it ultimately comes down to the coin and not the holder, but I'm thinking the holder could potentially influence the realized price on a coin like this under these circumstances?

Got a picture of the coin in question?
To answer your question though, I don't think it would matter if it was NCS or ANACS, but if it were me, I would go for the ANACS slab.
I frankly have no real idea what the coin will go for - I figured selling it raw would be a mistake because hardly any condition rarities in MS go for their value unless they have indeed been certified as "MS"
How bad is the scratch?
the separation of PCGS from "the rest of the pack" when selling a high dollar coin is that great
