Bad lighting in the photo. If it had any kind of coating it would have called it out somewhere.

A good rule of thumb when placing a screw order is to never call Sloppy Seconds... just sayin'...

almost half the price, fastenal is usually pricey to me per screw. but i do know they have shops around to make it easy.

It says plain finish. That means no coatings. Just silver colored. I get almost all my hardware from McMaster Carr.

I wanted to use mcmaster carr for my order but a few of their screws just had insane prices. It like 10 screws for like $3-$4 so I passed on them.
might have saved a few bucks at bolt depot or mcmaster but fastenal just has stores everywhere so its a slight benefit to have if they screw up my order.
no pun intended lol

no sweat. most standard hardware is really cheap, if you found something that was higher in priced it's most likely a more specialty item, at least from what I've found.

That's exactly what I thought, too. It's not actually green, just the way the picture was taken made it appear to be green. Stainless steel is polishable so I don't see how it could have any kind of coating.
