Here is the next IHC I am submitting for your consideration. I present to you a 1897 Indian Head cent. This one also appears to be in the MS range. What are your opinions on grade/condition? Is it worth getting slabbed?

Looks mint state to me, with adequate luster and no heavy marks. Color probably qualifies as "red-brown" (RB) although there is much more brown than red. Might make MS-64. Retail value might be $200 or so if it grades problem-free. It's a very nice type coin but would only be worth the grading fee if it did in fact grade MS-64RB or better (IMO).

As a general rule:a coin need a minimum retail value after slabbing of $150 to justify all costs involved in having it slabbed.

63RB maybe 64RB.
Not really worth slabbing.
Watch your top knot
