Quick gold review (scratch)

I just received this coin and it was listed as AU<

There is a scratch just above the ON on the right side.

Would this receive a details slab due to this small scratch?

I am thinking of returning for a exchange as the spot is distracting.

Thoughts from more experienced gold graders. If it would straight grade I will keep as the obverse is beautiful and with return there is a chance I will get a newer example. I prefer the older coin/younger queen.

Thanks for taking a second to review. (Btw Gold is a beast to photo)

Is that a long scratch below " ton " ??

 

Yes that is what he is referring to.

 

What coin is this btw? Does it trade for a significant premium or is it pretty much bullion?

 

Netherlands 10 gulden/gilder
Slight premium above bullion if caught on sale.

 

Looks pretty light to me. Gold is so soft, that this is barely anything to worry about. Does not look deep.

 

I don't find the scratch that distracting.
Nice coin!
