IMO Would not be worth slabbing unless it would make MS64 or higher and then only if you could get it for $20-$25.

 Common date, 9.9 million minted. MS-65 would fetch $150 to $200, maybe. This one is AU-55 at best, $30-35, IMHO |

Absolutely not. Even the VAM-4, 19 and 20 list VAMs are not worth slabbing in this condition. If you want a slabbed '96 out and get one already graded.

If you had a 96-S or 96-O in mint condition it would be worth slabbing. If you got a conditional rarity you would want to buy it in a slab IMO. I think any coin over $500 should only be bought in a slab graded by one of the big three.

I won't slab my coins unless it's ms 68 and higher for common dates.

For the grade, I am thinking AU-55.

Probably not.
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."

Looks like an AU-55 or 58. The 1896 dollar is a very common date. It's not worth the slab fee.
