So there is no way to determine if a coin is first strike (first month) by the package labeling or purchase receipt?

Right---because the mint can mint a good many coins with one set of dies so the date it was minted really doesn't mean a thing.

Why is there an "F" mark on some gold buffalos and not on others?

I don't know of any that doesn't have it....

If I am not going to send the coin in to be graded: would it be better to not even open the package? Will this increase its possible resell value "a little" or " alot"?

Most collectors are buying the coin so the packing doesn't mean a thing....now if you are talking about the hard case that the coin is in then I wouldn't open that but if you mean the package that the coin came in from the mint with your name and address on it right from the mail man then I would for sure open it....you can't enjoy the coin without doing that.
