here is a typical ASYN rip off on Feebay.
In MS 64, this coin is valued between 30,000 to 50,000.
I only have two questions:
1 why is it not certified? would you as a seller not want to be sure about the coin?
2 Is this coin authentic? Personally I believe it to be a fake.
I have posted the actual listing and copied it on to my certified coin.
YOU be the judge.

The image is an atrocious scan but the numeral "2" on the reverse looks odd, and the dentiles look mushy. Image is too bad to tell if bubbles or tooling marks are in evidence.
asyn MS64 = about unc at best
I'd wager that this coin is a counterfeit for the reasons others have said.

I have sent the link to Mike Marshal. he has direct access to Fleabay for removal of fakes.
Sometimes it is within minutes.. swoooosh and gone.
But, i guess Mike is not home today...... after all, he has a life too...
if one of us sends it , it will not be dealt with swiftly..
So, I guess someone is getting the shaft here..and an unpleasant surprise.
Now guys.. if it were your coin.. would you not have it graded?
I am not sure if a MS 64 is known in any POP report... it is ever sooooooooooooooo rare... just look at the mintage.
If this coin would be a US gold coin... price would be in the stratosphere...
I am lucky to have one (had another and sold it)

I was commenting on his typical grading.
I'd grade this (fake) coin at at least EF-45 details.
Asyn's coin has OBV2 portrait,with smoothly rounded forehead,and pointed front of the bust truncation.
The 2 does look somewhat funky.
Though certified,the OP's coin is also suspicious.
The forehead doesn't appear as smoothly rounded as it should be,and the point of the bust truncation appears too rounded.
One,both,or neither coin may be subject to optical illusion.
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.

When resizing images, changes can be introduced that are not visible in the original image. Don't know if that happened here- just sayin'...
#2: Any relationship between ASYN's "grades" and reality is purely coincidental.
I have him tuned out in my Canadian eBay searches (but I can't say that before doing so I ever saw him offering fake coins) along with gotchacollectables.
