I'm pretty sure I've seen exactly that here, but I don't remember enough detail to be able to track down the post. It was a pretty convincing...
Can't report it this second, but I'll come back and do so later if it isn't already gone. Edit: reported.

Or they're a pawn shop. But perhaps that's redundant with your last point.
And thanks for resuscitating it after five days of quiet, I guess...?

I'd like to see better (brighter and more in focus) images, but I'm inclined to agree that it's Fine. I also agree that it's not worth grading;...
I don't think it's genuine. :(
"...keeps Canadians' pocket change fresh." Yeah. I collect old coins -- because coins used to keep. Now we here in the US have Zincolns, which...
