    Please don't get it slabbed, coins this old look bloody awful in plastic coffins. I have seen it done to far too many Saxon/Norse hammered coins and it really drives me (and many others) crazy. 
    It would also in my experience make little difference to price or desirability if and when you came to sell it. The vast majority of collectors to which this coin would be of interest are what I would describe as being traditionalist. They tend to be older individuals for which the joy of collecting is to be able to hold a coin which was struck 500-600 years ago, to be able to have a direct connection into the past. These types of of collectors do not attach a great deal of value to a few letters, a number and a plastic case.
     At the end of the day it is your coin, so do as you please. But if I was you, I would get an nice mahogany coin cabinet commissioned with plenty of room (to expand in time...) to display what is a fascinating coin and to most importantly enjoy it.

    Picked this 1/2oz Gold Eagle the week before the spot spike then drop. EBay deals have been on fire leading up to the drop. And if you timed it right you received 10x eBay bucks as well!

    This was an awesome piece to make, I was very happy when it came out at 302 grams first try! I was dreading it being 299!

    Sorting shields, currently on 1844 and found first overdate, 4 over inverted 4 as listed in Marsh (R2).
    Not the best grade unfortunately but have a few more to check so hopefully will turn up a better one! This coin realised £2640 in VF condition in the Bentley collection in 2013

    Big thanks to @steve1905 for these Britannia coins particularly the 2006 which is quite difficult to source.  Nearly went disastrously wrong notwithstanding me sending a postcode for a house I lived in over 10 years ago! Don't know what that was about, the power of the subconscious I guess? Big thank you to the manager of the sorting office who tracked it down and re-addressed the parcel!

    1880 Half Sov 1B die (129) with obverse 4, probably a VF received this morning. Ebay BIN, seller had a bit of a high price, but agreed to my substantially lower offer, which might still have been a bit high, too late now ? 325 down to 200 offered.
    I was looking for an 1880 low relief obverse 4 variant, not 100% sure this is it, but if Marsh is right, it ought to be as the others are obverse 5. In any case, I like it for what it is, a presentable young head half sov.
