Most folks would likely want to buy it for a bit under SPOT.

If you think gold is going up, you might consider keeping it.

If you think gold is going down, you should sell it.

No premium for the 1 oz Canadian maple leaf gold coins.

Does the fact that it's 999 fine rather than 9999 fine effect dealer's buy price?

i have done a lot of reading on PM refiners and they are the only ones who
actually seem to care and the people who buy from them do pay a different
price. of course the buyers of this purer metal are not going to make coins/jewelry
out of it in most cases and have other plans for it where purity matters. i am thinking
about companies that buy chemicals/compunds and etc.. who would require certain specs for
certain projects.

i cannot imagine a coin dealer ever caring. the difference in purity does not make
a lick of difference to them.

The hairlines and cleaning might make you lose a little value since they're easy to find uncirculated, but you'll still get spot or a little over for it on eBay if thats an option to you. I don't know if you've been following the metals market massacre lately, but It's not a great time to be selling. It's in the 700's right now, and just lost another buck while I was typing.
