I personally would never crack a slab unless it was to re-certify (at least at this point). I do like the "In Slab" idea. I have been working toward getting all of my coins out of books and into 2x2's or better. The books I started in the early 80's looked good then, the coins are degrading in the book. Although they have not always been stored well.
I'd probably crack it and fill the hole with the lower value weak D variety and then buy a certified die pair 3 if I was inclined to have one. I'm still on the fence about getting a no D myself since it is an error coin.
