Do customers buying graded slabed coins want the original box & COA. Grading company wants coins in unopened US Mint shipping box To receive First Strike attribute
on the label. I can request to have them shipped back but I May not get them back. What is the most important first strike attribute or the original box & COA.

I may be mistaken, but I believe it its up to the individual collector buying the coin.

Some collectors love slabbed coins and couldn't care at all about the COA etc.

Other collectors see slabbing in a much different light and will always say, "Buy the coin and not the slab."

To me, slabs/labels mean less than nothing in almost every case. To others, for example people who enjoy making registry set collections, they are all the difference in the world.
