I'm at VF-25. Why do the surfaces look so grainy?

there are 33 different varieties in 1853 - unless you see a characteristic die marker, it is going to take a couple hours.

I don't see any.. I think it's the date as the 1 is low and has space between the neck and top of one as most I have seen pictures of are alot higher..
