Impossible to tell from these pics.. Any way you can get better ones? Is it a P or S mint?
On a side note... It looks like your holding the coin flat on your fingers? You should try to avoid touching coins (especially silver) on the faces, only hold them by the edge... As the oils from your fingers will damage the coin. Unless you rinse them in acetone very soon after you will have unremovable fingerprints that will drastically reduce any value.
On proof, MS or key date coins (such as this one if it's a p mint) it is extremely important.
Using cotton or laytex gloves isn't a bad idea either... I even use them when holding by the edge..
