I see little detail in the hair. This looks more like BS Flawless rather than BU Flawless and the BS does not stand for Business Strike.

Am I being overly harsh or am I missing something here? Maybe it is just a poor picture of a great coin.

With him, nearly everything is "flawless".
He's been listing coins like that for years.
Look at some of his other listings.

Plus, it is 1943 on the holder and the coin.

With asyn, ignore the title and focus on the coin. The prices are generally OK. Bid based on what it looks like to you and you will do OK.

You might get the coin for a good price, but he
makes up for it with the shipping.
After adding $12.00 shipping, it really brings
up the price on lower value coins.
This is why I stopped dealing with him.

Calling that coin "flawless" is a stretch. That coin might do as "slightly circulated", but certainly not "flawless".

I bought a fair bit from them three years - but it was mostly modern coins from uncirculated sets so you knew what you were getting and the description was accurate. I was fine with that.

They also had free shipping back then. Now it is overinflated shipping costs and they seem to charge more for shipping on an expensive coin even though it is shipped by the same common method.

This is the one thousandth thread about asyn and their grading practices.
