>I'm scared to cut open the plastic cuz I might scratch it.
If you're a panda collector, then I recommend leaving the gold pandas in their plastic wrap from the mint. The frosted parts scuff very easily and the shinier bits are basically proof finishes (which also scratch easily). Plus, being in the original plastic wrap from the mint helps their resale value. I pretty much only see gold pandas in their original plastic or in the graded slabs.

Pic related was the kind of scuffing that occurred after opening a few 30g gold pandas and stacking them for 1 evening and taking some pics before putting them into capsules the next day. A scuffed panda is still worth its weight in gold, however, pandas always gain numismatic value over time, due to each year being unique, so why take away from that?
