Re: too many scratches? It's a bullion coin. It doesn't have any real numismatic value anyways. So don't fret over the rough surfaces.

What's the price? That will determine the answer.

Re: too many scratches? It is a beautiful ounce of pure brilliant gold. Or perhaps half ounce, as I seem to remember Canadian maples having a higher face value back in the 80's when that old bust was featured on them. Scratches do not diminish its value as a recognizable piece of a very valuable and scarce natural resource. I wish I had ANY Canadian Gold Maples...

Re: too many scratches? That's the weakness of the gold Maples. Too soft to support a premium.

Re: too many scratches? There isn't much of a premium anyway, which is the point of bullion coins. Standard premium is around $25 above spot, perhaps a very damaged coin will only get spot, but in the end, all you can lose is the premium above spot, or $25. In other words, the grade of the coin only effects its value by $25, which is nothing compared to the $900 worth of the metal content.

Re: too many scratches? Bullion dealers generally buy and sell marked up bullion coins at a discount to nice unmarked coins. Only a few dollars, but still a discount, so if you have the choice of buying a scratched up coin or one that is not, always buy the one that is not. That just takes away another reason for the dealer to rip you off. On .999+ coins like Maple Leafs, they are very soft and easily marred.
