Hi, I have a question about whether to ave coins graded or not?

Lately I have been buying 'new release' coins from the mint. they are usually silver or special release coins. They arrive in capsules in their display boxes and certifications.

With this type of coin, does it matter if I send it for grading or not?
Appreciate your thoughts

@Knickerssum: I wouldn't waste my money on getting " 'new release' coins from the mint" graded. (I am assuming you are purchasing them from the RCM)
If they are rare or costly, keep them in the original packaging.

Why would you want to get them graded, they are not intended for circulation and it wouldn't increase the value.
Leave them in the display cases and capsules and save that money to buy other coins,
