Nice coin. Reminds me of generally what might be an MS63.
Slabbing?
Ask yourself why.
1. Because you just want to? Go for it.
2. B/c you want to optimize profits selling it? Make sure to check out all grading costs (memebership fees, shipping, insurance etc.), ebay fees (if this would be the selling route), vs. value at what grade you think it might be. Make sure you do not mind the costs vs. what you would clear.
And know despite what many people think, there is no science to grading. So if it was cracked out and re-submitted, even to the same company, you are never guaranteed the same grade again. Slabs are only an opinion you are paying for, and that opinion can change depending on how good the coffee in the office was (you get the idea) the day the grader's got to it.
Imagine the natural wear on a person grading coins 8 hours a day, and you will also understand how inconsistencies occur.

Beautiful 63+ with a shot at 64. Seen much worse than this in a 64 holder.  |

Hits on cheek and chin hold this one to MS-63.
I wouldn't rush to send this in depending on what your goals are. I generally prefer to use my $ to buy more coins rather than pay for grading.

Very nice coin. As a CC mint, I would definitely slab it.

i think it would come back as a MS63. slabbing? all depends on what you want to do with the coin. the difference between 62 and 63 is only about $30 so if you are looking at selling it, its not worth the cost of slabbing. if you are keeping it then why slab it, just put it in an airtight

Despite some views on pro grading, if you decide to sell it on Ebay or a similar platform your likelihood of an easier sale are enhanced with the coin in a slab. Personally I wouldn't buy any raw coins online.

I agree, MS-63. If you're selling, then slab. If not, keep it raw.

Agree with wallyb 100%
Eventually you or someone in your family will liquidate your collection.
Having it slabbed makes it a lot easier to do so. Collecting with any sort of passion is great, but you have to think of the back end.
Also, for the most part, slabbing greatly reduces oxidization (toning) on your beautiful coin. Silver is a very reactive metal to air elements & it's 50/50 if the "toning" will favor your coin. I know costs, depending, can be expensive, but IMO its worth it with a CC Morgan.
Cheers

None of my 2,500 or so coins in my collection are slabbed,
but If you don't mind slabbing, then as a strong bonus to grading,
a slab would securely protect it.

Very nice example. Given it's a Carson City dollar and the MS state it's in, I'd slab it.

Absolutely slab any coin worth more than $200 if you can afford to do so. This is MS63 in my opinion.
