I seriously doubt it, but anything is possible. I suspect what you're attributing as "grainy" is really the photograph (or more specifically the...
I like it as an AU (presuming it's real, and I have no reason to think it isn't from the photos).
Remember guys, TPGs don't technical grade coins, they market grade them. Said another way, a really attractive coin that doesn't have full rims...
B&M's photos are always crappy and washed-out-looking, I wouldn't read too much into that, guys. As for the coin itself, it looks OK to me, but I...
Quoted for truth. This is one of my biggest gripes when it comes to TPG grading, the so-called "key date effect". It seems to this idiot...
That's the first square large cent I've ever seen. Neat!

I think that I would have tried to find one in-hand rather than taking a risk on an auction. That said, with the price of silver there is limited...
Expect these coins to be marketed. Hard. Personally, I'm buying gold for as close to spot as I can find and these ain't it.
They have green pimples!
NEN gets a thumbs up from me.
I like it too.
The coin appears to be polished and not a proof. Sorry. :(
