Original packaging vs grading on blister pack Dragon privy mark coin 1 1

[AU RUSH CA]

I purchased a 2024 1-oz. 99.99% Pure Silver Coin – Treasured Silver Maple Leaf First Strikes: Year of the Dragon Privy Mark (Premium Bullion) 

It comes in a blister packaging stating its first strike and the coin has a special privy mark.

I am contemplating sending in a few new coins for grading and the first strike label. What are your opinions on the long-term value of the coin in its original packaging vs NGS-graded slab packaging? 

If I understand correctly, I only have a certain amount of time to send it in to qualify for the first strike label, but the package says it's the first strike, so having NGC certify its first strike seems like a waste of a reason. 

Is it even worth sending in for grading?

Not in my opinion, no.

I agree.  As it stands, the gentleman has a superior coin with an incontestable provenance: "First Strike." How would he like all the attributes that go along with that sullied by a grade that may be less than stellar. Anything less than an MS-70 would be an unwanted distraction. IMHO.
