    Please take a look at the scans and guess the grade the grading service gave this coins. No cheating!

    Coin is graded by DGS Dominion Grading Service and that is where I got the scan from. Scan looks like it picked which looks like that best I can describe a milky spot just around the beak. I can just see it with a loop but not with the naked eye. Going to post some pictures with a camera in a few minutes.

    (DLRC) Scans are notoriously tough to grade.

    That said, I'd guess 64 from the scan, but typically overgrade on them, so I'm going to guess 63.

    Not the greatest pictures but better than scans.

    63 but could go 64, depending on that chatter in front of the nose.

    Very nice coin. I'll go MS65 possible 66 depending on the beak. My display does not show anything but possible rust on beak.

    I would say MS-64-65 , but I have heard Dominion is being very critical , trying to raise their brand to the PCGS level, so I wouldn't be surprised by a MS-63.

    Color me confused. In the latest photo, the cheek/fields look clean enough to warrant a 64 or even better. Hmmm.....

    The cheek is pretty clean. Scans never seem to do a coins justice. Here is what DGS gave it: I submitted 5 coins to DGS and was very happy with their service. Submission tracking was current and communication by the company was excellent. I like the AuthentiView but wish the pictures were not just scans and better quality. I would be willing to pay extra for that service.
    DGS also certified problem coins so I like them as an alternative to ANACS.

    GD is the only one who can grade accurately in this forum from pics he might not get ti right all of the time but he is the best. i think DLRC called this 63

    GD does know his stuff that's for sure. Thought I would pass along my thoughts on DGS. Thanks for everyone's opinions on the coin

    My grade would be a solid 64 - so there Mike :p

    And no I didn't cheat either. Will say though, that's only the 2nd or 3rd time I have agreed with DGS. They are usually a grade higher than me.

    I must say that from all that I've heard and read, DGS is doing a pretty darn good job grading.
