The marks on the face and field will probably bring it to MS62/63.

Great photos.

What camera and lens are you using and what are you using to defuse the light?

That lens is a cannon 18-55mm and I used a plastic milk jug (semi clear one) with the bottom and top cut off. I also have a solid White Milk jug and a 70% Opaque Lamp shade I use some times. The last one works great for proofs.
