Yours does not look like a Large 8 in my opinion.
Your photos are very dark, taken at an angle, and slightly out of focus. Could you try taking the pictures straight on, with better light?
Great Collections is known for taking very bright images, almost washed out sometimes. In hand, it probably does show at least some luster. It may...

Anything struck by a rusty die is absolutely a mint made effect, and will not result in a details grade. If it is an issue the TPGs are unfamiliar...
