I ordered the Ultra High Relief St. Gaudens Double Eagle the day it came available. It arrived a couple of weeks ago or so and I got the book this week. I am contemplating selling it to buy coins to complete my Lincoln One Cent Set and maybe a few Morgans. I have not opened the box with the coin or the book, they are still wrapped and boxed. So, should I sell it and use the profit to enhance my collection or should I just hang on to it and hope if appreciates even more?

I would advise you, if you can, to just hold on to the coin and just check out what the near future will bring, I wanted one but could not put the $$$$$$ together to get one, good luck, Mike....;

Is current market price higher or lower than what you bought it for?

If I do keep it, should I leave it in the original box or take it out to check it out?

Open them up and check them out, you have to see and hold it, it's so pretty!

I did that to mine, but kept all of the packaging, boxed them back up and put them away.

IMHO....you should be able to "see what you bought"....make sure it's problem free ! ......enjoy it....and keep all the packaging and papers of course........but just sit on it for at least a few years.....Heck !.....that's a high prize to have in ANY collection !
