Does the Original Certificate or Packaging Matter?
For the resale calculation, no - XRF testing replaces the certificate. You will receive the same per-gram IBJA rate whether or not you have the original MMTC-PAMP card or bank receipt.
However, for your own tax records (establishing cost basis for capital gains), keeping the original purchase receipt is advisable.
