Do scratches reduce the value of my Coins and Bars?

The condition of a coin has great relevance to rare coin collectors and coins bought for their numismatic value. However by definition bullion coins or bars are valued by their purity and mass (weight) and have very little to no numismatic value.

Therefore for bullion investors the condition of a coin does not matter. However, spotless shiny coins are naturally more appealing to most people compared to tarnished or scratched coins and bars. This means that well maintained coins and bars can be more liquid (easier to sell) in the secondary market.

Unless indicated otherwise all our coins are sealed in monster boxes from their respective Mints and are therefore in good condition. However, be aware that even freshly minted bullion coins might have small scratches from the production process. For example, 99.99% Silver Canadian Maple Leafs in particular might have small scratches during the casting process. 99.9% American Eagles tend to be more uniform and scratch less likely.
