Would you slab a £3 coin?

Hi. I want to know your opinions about slabbing a low value coin. I pay £3 for this 1964 Swiss Franc made of .835 Silver and I can say the condition is brilliant. It will cost me about £20 to get it graded if I send bulk. I don't want to sell this coin very soon maybe keep it for decades if I get MS67+

Personally I do not see the meaning of grading coins with lower values, 100€ book value I would see as an absolute minimum.
Of course everyone can do as it pleases them.

Grading costs might be £20 or so at the US firms but you will have additional fees to that.
The only other grading company that I would recommend is Geni.Expert from France, there it is around 11€ per graded normal coin but again some additional fees can apply.

I'm thinking to add it to my retirement fund which is build by gold and silver coins, graded MS65 and over. I stack different circulation coins made of gold and silver. I do believe in time the slab investment will be added to the value of coin. And I do want to slab it with NGC as they are more well known in the world. Who knows in 30 years time what the price of silver will be :))

It would be great if you add nice photos of your MS65+ coins to the Numista catalogue in case they will be better then current))

If you like having your best coins in slabs, then by all means have them slabbed.
enjoy your hobby as you like best.

​I agree with "apuking," & would suggest certain minimum Book Values (BV's) to make grading worth your while. If I grade a banknote, it must be collectible, a higher grade example & have minimum BV threshold. If BV is too low I cannot justify (nor recover my expenses). My limit may be slightly lower than "apuking" for world notes but certainly 4 to 5X what it costs to grade for my CDN currency (cost to grade in Canada with BCS Banknote Certification Services is about half of PMG or Paper Money Guarantee).
