Here is another proof from my collection and my first at clearer photos using difused light and other incorporated feedback. What do you guys think?

One thing I'm noticing is that when the cent is more in shadows the field comes through stronger and when the cent is more in the light the features seem easier to see.

These are very difficult to photograph, I feel your pain. LOL Good tries though!

Light scratch in right obv field but the coin is pretty clean, just tiny bit of toning. Nice proof!

Your proof cent photos are definitely improving. Keep working at it by experimenting with your lighting, diffusion etc and observing the results.

based on your photos the reverse looks CAM the obv undetermined but does not look CAM

small marks on the fields and the minor scratch near TRUST. in you second obv photo there are marks across the jaw, on the temple and forehead. these will hold the coin to probably PF63 range
