Congratulations on your new edition! Your dime is incredibly nice full of frosty luster. I would go ahead and slab it.

when I say a coin is not worth the slabbing fee this is usually the reason I say it. I look at what the coin usually brings raw in that condition. Then I will look at what graded versions sell for in the highest grade I think possible and two that it should definitely grade. Then I think of how much it will cost to have slabbed including shipping both ways. Usually if a coin is not worth 150.00 or so its not worth getting slabbed for resale, but if its something that is wanted just for protection because the coin means something to the owner I can understand where they would want to send it in anyway even though there are some other options that could protect just as much for far cheaper prices than slabbing would cost

When I started my coin collecting career, I bought a MS 1936 Merc for $20 from an elderly retired dealer selling at his leisurely time. I didn't even know what full band means at the time. Dealer who sold it to me didn't even bother to take a loop out to look at it, as he was probably far sighted. He was looking a it arm length.

And as I got more involved I join the NGC society, it came back with a designation of MS-67 FB. Talk about real luck!
