Tube or case?

buy a sealed tube, sell a sealed tube.
ignore all odds in getting milk spots, toning or whatever stuff that will reduce resale value.
this is the exact reason why some stackers buy kooks/koala/lunars in mint rolls. Your risk is only the first and last coin if you buy and sell in rolls!

To avoid counterfeit tube coins, only buy from reputable bullion dealers, and save the receipt for on selling. Don't buy sealed tubes from strangers or eBay.
Finally, bear in mind, that silver is silver, unless you are a staunch numismatist, you may be paying a premium for the mystique of a sealed tube which may not be warranted.

Some folk prefer tubes and rolls that are intact. (Keep seals intact too)
Often you will hear terminology such as an unbroken roll of coins, folk prefer these because the coins haven't been tampered with.
When to break a roll? - Those folk who have access to coin graders may buy unbroken rolls of coins with the hope of finding a perfect coin that can be graded.
Generally, I'd say keep your rolls unbroken and... if you have the urge to break / crack a roll, just to view the pretty coins, buy a roll +1 coin that you can use for your photographic records etc.
Edit
It's been suggested to The Perth Mint to include new packaging for their rolls of bullion coins, currently the rolls of Kookaburra, Lunar and Koala coins are packaged in clear heat shrink wrap but a suggestion of some kind of mint-marked heat shrink wrap for the future may be good idea.

Big +1 on the sealed tube thought. Regrettably, it isn't an idea that always floats. Kooks (for one example) come in individual capsules encased in a bomb-proof plastic sheath, which is the best. By comparison---when I got my "sealed tube" (HA!) of Saltwater Crocs (from a respected major national online vendor that I've dealt with extensively and trust), the seal was already compromised. Worse yet, the tube was too wide and too long, so the coins were clanking around loosely inside it. Moral of the story---sealed tubes are the best idea, but the best idea doesn't always work.
