I thought I recalled someone saying they won't slab the actual certificate linking the # to the coin if the box was opened? Is that not correct?

NGC typically won't provide an "early releases" designation since it's past the deadline, but you can send it to PCGS and get the first strike designation as long as it remains sealed in the original shipping box.

If you intend to keep the coin long term then I would not have it graded now. The mint capsule that these pieces ship in offer good protection. Keep it in a low humidity, climate-controlled environment.

P.S. I'd open it and enjoy it. It is beautiful and well worth ogling over.

Mine is also sitting in a drawer unopened for the last year. I think at this point the value difference of a PR70 vs. a PR69 outweighs the cost to get it graded. and I think a PR69 sells the same as an ungraded one, so for the initial cost ( if you bout it from the mint and not on the secondary market) it's worth the cost to grade it also.

I'd also say, the coin and certificate would sell better as a set comparing apples to apples to possible buyers vs. just the coin alone, so getting the certificate done also I'd say is worth the cost. If/when you did decide to sell it's likely you'll be going up against ones that have the certificate done too.
