First I want to thsnk you guys for advising me with my questions I had as a new collector. I 've decided that I will collect only gold bullion coins, and if they eventally have a numismatic value, then great, but I buy only at 3% -5% above spot, sometimes even less. Anyway, as a bullion buyer what do you think of gold coins that are labeled sruffy or cleaned? I buy with the intent of receiving melt value, so would cleaned coins at heavy discount be a good buy? Thanks!
You can probably sell cleaned ones for more than melt, depending on date and mint mark. However, the number of people wanting/willing to pay more for damaged specimens is much lower than those looking only for original coins.

If after discount they are just above bullion value, then there is no loss. Buying NCLT coins for substantially more than bullion value would be risky if not in top condition.
