Unopened boxes, to open or not to open?

lpackard

I’m new to the coin world and I recently purchased a box of “21x mint sets complete date run 2003-2023”, of which, each set in sealed individual packing- some with writing, some without (pic added). Should I open them? I’ve read several different opinions. I’m not opposed to selling them as is, but I think my curiosity is outweighing that option. What would you do? I don’t necessarily have a collection “type” yet or searching for any coins in particular but just want to make the right move here.
Thank you in advance, Laura.

I would open them.
You can never know what grade possibilities are present unless you look.
Post some pics if you do..

If I was flipping them or keeping to leave to to my children I would not open. If you are collecting and want to enjoy, then open them.

My curiosity would get the best of me and would want to know what’s inside.
I say OPEN THEM.

What do you want/hope to be inside? You know what's in the boxes. If you are looking to flip them you will presumably get more if they're sealed.

I guess the real question is, are you a collector or investor? As a collector I would want to see what I've purchased, so if I'm just investing why bother buying relatively new mint sets in the first place?

The outer packing boxes from the mint are bulky and if you're just keeping them, take them out of the boxes and check them out. I used to keep these in their outer boxes until I ran out of storage space. I now have more room for other coins.

I think they are worth more unopened.
