It does look like a scratch but even a strike though like this wouldn’t add value. You want a strike through to look like an identifiable object.

Re: glitter in coin
You're seeing the normal appearance of the coin's surface, the dies will have striations as well as become rough from over-use, so when they strike a coin, they impart pin pricks of metal that reflect light in several directions. It is one way to determine the state and stage of the die's condition....

Re: Gold Coin Sets
Yes, and even less than spot, most world issues are low mintage but if they don’t have corresponding demand it means very little.
You can buy graded type coins at shows, coin shops or reputable online dealers.
It would be a waste of money to have them graded.
