... with good results?

I picked up Legend of Legaia at a pawn shop, but the disc has the characteristic disc doctored look. I surface scanned the disc w/ Nero, and it comes back 100% good, so I take that as a good indication that it will play all the way through. Don't want to ruin it w/ a resurfacing if that is likely, but I sure would like it to look nicer. Am I just being silly? I now have two copies, so would have to decide which to sell/trade...
