In hopes of eventually improving my photography skills, this is my first.... guess the grade. I am attempting to utilize natural lighting, angles, etc., trying to capture the actual look of the coin, but it is difficult. Hopefully these pics are adequate to determine a grade. Thanks!

MS-64, but I can't get a great sense of how deep the scratches on the obverse are.

Hard to tell from these photos, could be 64 or a 65.

the 81(S) are know for those strong strikes so strike is right for this one. nice remaining luster with only a few areas that may have had a little rub. the marks in the left obv field are going to be enhanced due to the PL qualities of that side. however I think they are enough to keep her out of the 65 box. the reverse doesn't have PL look to it based on your photo

I'm at MS64. with the PL obv and clean reverse I think a + is warranted

MS65 possibly PL. Maybe 66 if the graders were in a good mood.
