Bullion Kooks in presentation boxes - value vs capsules

Hi Stackers, do you think that bullion coins in cases hold a premium over ones in capsules?
I have 1990 and 91 kooks in the little black flip cases with no capsules and was thinking about putting them into caps.
I also have multiple kooks ( 2-3 in a case) in green presentation boxes with capsules - I have removed these to make up full sets of kooks 1990-2014. Do you think these are more valuable at resale back in their original Perth Mint cases or sold in a complete kook set?
I look forward to your opinions.
 
Early Kooks in their original square caps help resale a little. The rule is you leave it in original capsule unless its going in an album.
Presentation boxes are actually a nuisance.
 
As long as there's no toning, I would dig that kook set. Square capsule or round capsule either way is fine by me. :)
 
Depends on who you are trying to sell to and the history of the coin. The important thing is not whether you try to sell in flip or capsule, but that if you are trying to sell with a collector premium that you accurately describe the quality of the coin. If you are selling as a 1 oz piece of handled bullion with fingerprints or if you have cleaned the coin unprofessionally, then doesn't matter that it even comes in a cap or flip because asking for a premium at all on a common handled bullion piece to some is asking for problems. Many of us who buy coins and bullion have returned, at the expense of the seller or dealer, coins whose condition has not been described accurately.

If it's a scarce or rare modern coin then describing it accurately is also important but at the same time, you can justify asking for a premium even on a frequently handled and cleaned coin.

You want a happy (potentially repeat) customer, describe very accurately what you are selling is the most important thing to think about.

What's your thoughts on toned Kooks = still in caps unopened??

I consider myself as much a stacker as a coin enthusiast / hobbyist. Depending on the toning...I might have the slightest interest in it though I do certainly favor untoned modern coins over toned modern coins. Toning on very old coins is different. Toning is tarnish and invariably means the oxidation process has gotten to the point where it's visible. Sure, all coins will eventually get some toning (unless the coin is kept in a vacuum shortly after it came off the mint) but a modern coin that has toning means inadequate or poor storage. That's not nearly as desirable to me as a fresh "white" looking silver coin which clearly has been stored under better conditions.
