@BarryG - fantastic coins there. Love that internal die break on the second one. I agree with previous comments - don't break first out of the slab (I worry of a small chance it would get MS63 in some future submission).
@Nickelsearcher - I don't believe they do color designations on the Copper-nickel planchets.

i am a believer that it is reasonable to crack it if you want. you can always buy another plastic box for it later. the sentiment that it might not hit that same grade is silly. if its over graded at 64 your sale price will reflect that. the coin wont be a different coin if you handle it correctly. slabbing fees are a pretty small cost if holding the coin makes you happy.
sweet coin. merry Christmas!

I wouldn't break it out; it seems to have its Original Skin (like an overcoat in a slab). I would, though, try and "trade up" with it at some point

Very nice new acquisition, and your other one has a lot of character with that big die chip!

Nice update. Your wife's a keeper for sure.
(Thanks for posting that link for the second coin Spence since I was wondering about it being real.)

Your [insert anything here] collecting experience will be directly correlated to the whims of the person you marry. Congratulations on marrying your wife more than getting the coin, but that too.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
