I am currently running an Apollo puck give away ...... could not decide whether I should open the box when I receive it to gather my invoice.

I assumed the winner may wish to send it in for 'First Strike' designated label; so it means ...... I should not open the box?

What should I do?

*edited to add the US Mint box received

    I thought box should remain un-tampered ;)

    OK ..... I should not worry too much. I'll do what I got to do on my end :) and award the coin to JBK <3

    That's sounds like a good plan. ;)

    The prize is your generosity and 5 ounces of silver. No need to overcomplicate it with keeping the box sealed.

    Open box get your personal info out.

    The puck is still eligible for first strike if the winner sends it to PCGS by deadline.

    The coin should stand on it's own merits without a date associated with it.

    I say go ahead and open it. I was planning to open once it showed up in my mailbox anyway. I would never slab modern bullion , first strike or any strike. Thanks!

    if privacy is a concern, remove the invoice. If not wait until you have a winner and and let the winner decide.

    The big question is "has it shipped already?" If not, it may not matter about First Strike and you can remove the invoice. Assuming it won't ship by the FS deadline. So FS would be moot.
    If it has shipped and is on it's way by any means other than Stupid Post then, as most have suggested, get the invoice out before the address goes on. (To mangle that advertising slogan a little)

    @Kudbegud
    They've notified of shipping 1/24 so perhaps it will be here end of this week?

    Your's went out fast. (unlike so many) Yes, it should have gone Priority Mail so it should be here this week. "Should" used on purpose because the Post Office plays tricks sometimes. Like two shipments to me that took a detour to Guam before arriving on our fair island.
