When it's time to sell, a slabbed MS68 will likely bring about the same

but - and here is the big but. If your selling coins as bullion, who
cares as long as the silver can be proven.

For selling coins though, slabed coins are far far easier to liquidate,
and on ebay it is all but impossible to sell coins not slabbed by PCGS or
NCG, and Heritage will slab them anyway. Furthermore, the returned sale
prices is much higher for coins in the slab.
