Why is he allowed to Put a grade (MS64) in the title? I thought that was forbiden on the bay? It's a nasty ebay loophole that ebay needs to close. He's in Canada so the rule doesn't apply to him. So he can list his stuff with grades in the title on ebay.com right next to US sellers that get their listings yanked for it. Yeah, that's fair. |

If in doubt DONT bid is a pretty good rule to stick to.
There will ALWAYS be another coin at some time in the future that you will have no doubts about an can bid with confidence  100%. It always seems when I jump on a coin when I have doubts, a better one always comes along and I regret the impulse buy. |

that Canada 1892 25c MS64...looks like it may have been Cleaned?
Never liked this sellers "descriptions"...just says look at photo!
Please review the image as it is the most accurate "description" of the item. It always shows the actual item being sold. Grading and typographic errors can occur. If you feel the estimated grade is different than pictured, please adjust your bid accordingly.
Picture displayed shows the actual item you will be receiving. What you see is what you get!

Coin looks to be AU-53 at best. Definitely some wear and lack of lustre. Slight chance it has been cleaned. Hard to tell with that washed out photo though.

if you know he over grades then dont bid on it for what he has it graded at. if you do then the only person you have to be disapointed with is yourself
OR
buy it and take advantage of his no questions asked return policy.

Asyn should get coins graded which are worth that much.

That particular coin, pictured in the auction you have linked to, is not mint state and it has been dipped to death. That seller knows good coins and operates literally just up the road from ICCS. There is a reason why that particular coin is not in a TPG holder.

I have purchased more modern MS coins from asyn. The scanned photos look horrible, but when I have received the coins they have looked great.

In my opinion, he's a massive overgrader. Run Forest Run. I've actually eliminated this seller from my ebay coin searches. |

I have done three deals with this seller of which two deals were great and one was horrible.
I believe the seller has a no questions asked return policy.
If you are not happy then return it for a full refund.

I have purchased many coins from this seller. His coins are often overgraded a couple of points. Knowing that, I simply bid accordingly. Since he uses a scanner for his pictures the coins ALWAYS look much better in hand than they do in his scans. There are always scratches on the glass of his scanner, which many people will assume is the coin. If you look closely the same scratch with be on both sides in the same spot. I have got some good deals because of this. I've always been happy with my purchases from him.

Always assume AT LEAST 2 grade levels lower than stated. If a variety is identified then it is usually right or at least honestly debatable. I did get one that was quite obviously a lower value variety from what was listed and had no problem getting a refund for the difference in value. Go with your best assessment from the (admittably low grade) picture and walk away if some over-enthusiast bids it up past that. Worst case you'll get what you expected and best case you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you're looking for a specific coin in a specific grade then this may not be the best buyer to get it from but I've got some great (and many okay) deals on hole-fillers from this guy. |

I do not buy graded coins from this guy after I got a VF20 1859 and it turned out to be better used as something to level a table. I only buy junk silver from him now as I buy for melt value. This guy puts up MS65 everything. There are only a few ebayers that actually sell quality coins that fit the grade listed. Find one and keep him/her on your saved list.

You will never get a good deal from someone that sells coins like this. Why bother taking a chance?
