the 82(S) were almost always seen with strong strikes this one is right up there with a tad short on the reverse. I'm glad you posted the raw photos rather than just the TV photo which really distorts what we see.
the marks on the cheek are fairly weak. I think she came in at MS64.
Edit to say I think its worth noting I struggle to capture luster in photographs. This coin is much flashier in hand than it appears in these slab photos
your original photos made the coin surfaces look dull and missing full luster. when I grade from TV photos I drop it a grade however your vid helped a lot to see the actual surfaces. maybe vids with the photos in the future if you can. remember we can only assess a coin based on what we see.
two tips on videos
1. show both sides 2. rotate the coin very slow, I know you were attempting to show the cartwheel luster on her but we can still it even if the coin is not rotated that fast.

That is fair to say! I believe most of us struggle with photos.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
