I'm guessing this isn't a problem because they must get massive amounts of coins in Gov't sealed boxes every year, I just don't want to mess up my first submission. I have a 2004 proof platinum $50 coin I want to submit but if I try and put it into a mylar flip I'm gonna drop it and it's gonna roll down the hallway into the heating vent.

Removing from mint capsules before submission increases the chances of damaging the coin which will affect the grade.

although sometimes the capsules are cracked when they come back.
if you want to keep the original capsules safe, send it in an air-tite.

<< <i>Do you guys save the original government packaging---boxes and COA's? If so, is the packaging isn't complete without the capsule and, if you go to sell the coin and the buyer wants the original packaging, will he be satisfied without the capsule? >>
Not if he plans on cracking it out and selling it as Mint original.

defeats the whole purpose of keeping your hands off an otherwise 70 coin. Also I believe you get charged to remove from a non-mint capsule.

They may charge a nominal fee to reurn the capsule, or may just do it.
Submit in the capsule if you can. You can put the capsule in the flip if that makes you feel better
