Be careful and diligent. NGC slabbed coins have a viable guarantee. Buying a sight-unseen coin could lead to problems. Greysheet has this coin @ MS63 around $385, where the bidding will top-out. Whereas a nice coin in AU is @ $145 - big gap. JMHO.

On a relatively common coin like that, I would absolutely go raw if available. I'd be surprised if that coin wasn't available by the tons in MS grades and slabs at any show.

Holding off till I go to a show Sunday. I'm getting a little afraid of buying an NGC coin on ebay. I searched in Morgans for NGC and over 2000 hits came up. Some of these look downright phony. When comparing dates one MS63 was selling for $350 and another in the same date and MS 63 was going for $65 with approximately the same bidding time left. I'm not prejudice or a racist but I am not buying a slabbed NGC coin from someone in Pakistan or Hong Kong (could use more countries but these are 2 I just saw). And there are a lot of foreign sellers popping up. At least most shows I know the dealers.

I think that's a very wise decision. I don't like buying any coin I haven't seen, no matter what the dealer claims. Coin dealers that advertise heavily in Coin World ect. have a lot of overhead which means they must get a premium for the coins they sell. It's all about the dollar. You should get a much better deal at the coin show. Happy hunting!
