Do large buyers open up sealed from mint packaging? Specifically Monster boxes and the tubes

Clackamas1

I have a bunch of sealed monster boxes (Canadian Maple leafs silver) and a bunch of sealed 10 coin tubes of maple leaf gold. These are all sealed from the mint and I will be selling them probably to a big dealer. Will they open them? If they are I want to open them first just to see what that much looks like and cherry anything really nice.

I have some sealed gold maples & platinum maples, but the dealer sites seem to discount maples regardless of whether or not they've been searched. I think that's a reflection of the demand/collectability of maples. Either way, it's verifiable sovereign mint bullion. Nevertheless, I'd hope for a small premium on sealed tubes - but I don't expect that to happen.

There must be a way for them to verify without opening.

Would YOU buy it without opening? That the modern equivalent of when they sold you a brick in a VCR box

The reason I ask is that before I go to sell them I was thinking of opening them and cherry picking some MS70's that really standout and create a large stack of raw coins and take a picture. I have 11 of them.

sealed monster boxes are regularly traded. i suppose it is possible to open and reseal

haven't dealt with maple tubes direct from the mint, but i have a tube and see no way it could be sealed unless it's done with that stiff plastic tamper evident shrink wrap.
