I am a beginner collector and recently purchased this Morgan on ebay. I think it's an AU-50 grade, but could you please tell me your opinion:

Is it worth having it graded and slabbed?

Thanks!

This has too much wear and not enough luster to make AU. I would put the grade at EF-40 to EF-45. I do not feel this coin is valuable enough to warrant grading/slabbing. Approximate auction value slabbed is $30-$50 in that condition so price paid is fair.

If you want to slap a coin, many coin supply companies provide a product that will allow you to place it in a slab and affix a tag grading the coin. I would not send this coin out for grading.

The only time I "slap" a coin is when bluffing on the river in an intense game of texas hold-em.
