About EF40. By the way, that's not an O.

I'm stuck between VF-35 and EF-40, could argue either way.

I see PCGS slabbed VF35 sales in 2023 from $216 - $288. Just a quick look on my part. You can search ebay and see what they're going for there and make the slab decision accordingly. Depends what you have in it and why you want to slab it, IMHO.

It's in collectible condition at EF35, I'm not sure if there's much demand for a slabbed example at that grade. Watch ebay and see how long other examples take to sell.

Slap into your 7070.

Make sure to do the math for slabbing first. PCGS first submission will cost you around 200.00 b/c of membership fees, post and insurance etc. Basically giving most of the value to the grading company.
