You just got your 20th Anniversary Silver Sets from the mint. The box is unopened and sitting in front of you.

    You forgot the option of selling to one of the people offering $$$ for unopened boxes.

    I think I'd offer them here first in the unopened box.

    And then submit it for First Strike...........................its all in the postmark otherwise how could you account for those 1991 1992 and 1997 First Strike ASE's on Ebay?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Before I vote I need to know.....what's the difference between a 20th Anniversary Silver Eagle & a regular Silver Eagle?
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    I agree with the others, sell here.

    With early reports of milk spotting problems, I decided to open them for inspection.

    Imagine how you would feel if you sent your unopened shipment to PCGS for First Strike designation and the coins were all spotted? No thanks. At that point you can't send them back to the mint and you are out the grading fees.

    5. Leave them in the original packaging and forward the set to Gareth R. Smith image

    dog, answer...the packaging.

    Since I anticipated some of this a couple of months ago, I split my order into 2 (5 sets each).
    I opened 1 box (5 sets) and think I will send the other (unopened fedex box of 5 sets) off to PCGS.

    I also may submit a few of my RP from the opened sets (the ones that I can find no flaws with and PCGS will likely PR69 them).

    Then, I may keep 1 set slabbed and sell the rest.
    I will also likely sell some of my opened sets. I have another 10 ordered (co-worker used his info to order for me).

    So, I think I am trying to cover all bases image

    no coin gives as much joy of ownership, nor as much pure numismatic beauty to behold, as an unopened box of this year's coins.

    Yes, gaze upon the gorgeous wrapping paper, admire the wonderous postmark, and praise the lovely opaque box!

    Sleep on it then try to walk away, thus selling it, without the regret or longing of how it could have been. How much sweeter the last one could have been if you would have treated it like the first. Or versa visa.
