I don't know how much slabbing costs but these run $45 to $70 on ebay slabbed at about your grade.

Unfortunately I only have an iPhone camera and I don't think I can get a close enough shot of it. The Red Book lists it at only $5.00, I'm assuming from what I've seen and heard that this coin is worth at least 3-4 more than than and way more if slabbed?

Thanks guys, I think I'm just going to get it slabbed because I want it protect and graded for my collection. What's the best company? I was thinking NGC but it's $25-$30 a coin

The slab will most likely cost more than the coin is worth....just get an airtite.

IMO there is no need to get it slabbed. Anyone who collects coins will know what a WAM is and it is obvious just by looking at it. You don't have to spend $50 (the coin is worth $5.00) to have some person put a sticker on it and tell you what you already know. I would put it in a 2x2 (thats where my one and only WAM is) or airtight.
