nice riddle you got there. but how often does the mint send the wrong coins in the box? i woud say ods are in your favor the right coins are in there. Now the question is do you gamble the box will be worth more unopened 10 years downthe road. I dont buy my coins to gamble - i would certainly open it and enjoy them

 

Interesting question, guess I'd think like a potential buyer.....Trust me this box holds a valuable coin....Open it!

 

hmmm, a box unopened is a coin unloved.

 

I like to check for defects.

 

OPEN IT! Could be a valuable error in there! Ya just never know.

 

I would open it unless you wanted it slabbed 1st strike. If so, send it in box and all.

 

Well i couldn't keep from opening box up , wow i think the us mint is losing it instead of silver dollar they send me gold eagle, J/K . I like this silver dollar better then Proof one i got, will post a few pictures in morning after i get home from work.

 

The US Mint police will be at your door soon.

You were wise to open the box.....

 

Opening the box is the only logical choice. Let's say you keep it in the box with the aim of selling it later on at a premium.

Now you're the buyer, and you've just bought a box. You can either open the box, in which case you've wasted whatever extra value is associated with the unopened box (value you've just paid for in the form of a higher cost), or you can sit and wonder whether you've been cheated in any way. Not an attractive situation for a buyer.

 

I've purchased three of every presidential dollar first day of issue coins. I opened the first box, which presented three white boxes as well as the packing slip and a mailer. I've decided not to open those boxes, which include a P code (eg. P21, P22, etc.) and put them into a 1-gallon zip lock bag with the invoice and the US mailer. Since I've already seen the coins in circulation and also seen the proof coins in the mint sets, I've figuring that the unopened white box may add it value. I've noticed that it seems to work for the 1955 proof sets. Being a collector and not a seller, this whole thing doesn't make any sense but I'm doing it anyway. I'm an enigma!!
