My wife said I was good and deserved an early Christmas present, so I decided to finally get myself a nice, high grade Flying Eagle cent:     I debated cracking it out and putting it in my 7070 album, but I'm actually satisfied with the ungraded example I currently have there (despite, or perhaps even because of, the weird Cud on the obverse):   |

Wow - beautiful coin! Personally I would break it out and make sure it was stored in something air tight instead of a slab to preserve it's luster. Slabs are not air tight and so coins can and do do deteriorate inside them if not stored properly.

@BarryG - fantastic coins there. Love that internal die break on the second one. I agree with previous comments - don't break first out of the slab (I worry of a small chance it would get MS63 in some future submission).
@Nickelsearcher - I don't believe they do color designations on the Copper-nickel planchets.

i am a believer that it is reasonable to crack it if you want. you can always buy another plastic box for it later. the sentiment that it might not hit that same grade is silly. if its over graded at 64 your sale price will reflect that. the coin wont be a different coin if you handle it correctly. slabbing fees are a pretty small cost if holding the coin makes you happy.
sweet coin. merry Christmas!

I wouldn't break it out; it seems to have its Original Skin (like an overcoat in a slab). I would, though, try and "trade up" with it at some point

Very nice new acquisition, and your other one has a lot of character with that big die chip!
