Sorry, these blasted images are pretty much worthless for grading purposes.

It would likely grade PR69DCAM. I say mainly because that's what the majority of these pieces, that have not been mishandled, would grade.

Too much glare / reflectivity. Try from different angles. Looks like a very nice example, but can't see the surfaces well enough for accurate estimation of grade.

Appears to be a nice example. Try using diffused light source(s). Place a thin, translucent piece of white paper (tracing paper) between the light source and the subject you're photographing. Translucent white plastic (like an empty, cut open white milk jug) works too. Thanks.
