Panda Coins - Sealed or Unsealed?

[Serendipity]

Do Chinese Panda coin collectors prefer their gold Pandas sealed in the original mint packaging or encapsulated in air-tites? Please feel free to comment.

Pandas are really beautiful in capule and I would like to have them  all in air-tites, but I tend to keep them sealed.  You will get a better price selling them sealed,  considering  this as a garantee about not getting a fake coin and moreover, for key Pandas, the buyer's hope that the coin in minting condition can get a high grade. 

However, for last years (from 2011) Pandas, mintages  let me consider them as bullion so , I don't mind getting them unsealed

I took mine out of the mint packaging to admire them. 

I assume that good condition and good pictures is required to maintain premiums when selling.  Alternatively could just sell them for gold price at the time of sale.

I also assume that people who keep them in the mint packaging fall into the category of not really bothered about looking at them it's just an investment.

I think the opposite.  I have some sealed key Panda such as 1/4 oz gold 1995 (market price from 2000 to 4000€), 1/10oz gold 2002 (market price (from 500 to 1300€) for example and I definitely would not  unseal them except for grading
