Help with a first spouse gold coin question - Open sealed box or sell sealed?

A friend of mine bought 5 of the Martha Washington First Spouse Gold coins and has left them in a sealed box. I told him I could sell them for him but I was wondering should I send the coins in for grading or open them and sell individually. They DO qualify for the First Strike designation.

    If you sell on ebay, sell as opened box. Trust but verify. Too many scammers these days.

    I do not have a strong basis for this opinion, but my gut feeling is that this one is played out and will sell for near melt no matter how you sell it. Therefore, I would sell open, too.

    Jesse, eBay completed auctions would indicate: sell with good scans showing an OPEN BOX. Not cost effective to have them graded...

    BTW open boxes are selling in the range of: $500+ .... as mentioned before ... tied in to the bullion price of Gold + an approx 10% premium
