It's a nice coin, but you can easily determine for yourself whether it is worth slabbing:
* First, go to
https://www.PCGS.com/photograde#/Mercury/Grades to determine an approximate grade. This coin will be in the VF region.
* Second, go to a valuation site, like
https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...es/dimes/31/ to determine an approximate retail value.
Then you can make your decision. Assuming you have already paid the initial costs associated with joining a
TPG, the minimum cost per coin might be somewhere around $35, depending on how many coins you submit. TPG-slabbed common date coins are worth more -- maybe a lot more -- but not necessarily enough to cover the cost of slabbing it.
Say your dime is VF-25 (I did not look too closely, but it is probably about that). It might have a retail price of about $7.50. If you slab it, it might command a premium of 75%, meaning your coin is now worth $13. The slab adds confidence, so maybe you could even get $25 under the right circumstances (doubtful). But still, you've spent $35.
Once you're dealing with coins that retail for more than $60 or so, a
TPG starts to make more sense. That's because the market progressively discounts coins that *aren't* slabbed.
