Gold Coins: how important is it that is came in its original mint package?

PeachyDay asked:


I am interested in buying some gold coins, like the American Eagle, Canadian Maple, etc.

I want to buy it for investment.

So it is it necessary/important that I get them in their orginally sealed state (as from the mint) and with a authenicity cerficate of BU (brilliant uncirculated)?

Or I can just get them in uncirculated conditions? and still be able to sell them with equal values as the sealed ones?

Thanks

    The ones in their original unopened packaging will always hold & increase in value better, and will always be easier to sell later on.

    An example would be the 1991 12 ounce which had mintage of people are few in price in them they are the value of the gold coins sell for the dealer and not let him know do see little.
