Not the best pics. I'll say MS-64, perhaps 65.

watch your glare from the lighting. using any type of overhead light will cause glare and obscure the surfaces for grading. defused lighting is best.

the coin is well struck. looks like some kind of disturbance on the obv right field but shadowing is not helping it. ticks up and down the entire torch.

maybe makes MS64. the torch is pretty banged up

Thank you for your responses I How would I go about taking better pictures because I know having a good picture helps alot....I have tried to find information on how to do this unfortunately I only have my phone and terrible lighting in the small area in my trailer to do this
Have tried using mirror like paper to generate lighting all around the coin I have tried different lighting colors high and low I have tried natural lighting...I basically need to use what I have available too me to make this happen any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

the problem is not lack of light. the problem is too much as its causing shadowing and glare. try this

1. if coin is in holder, remove coin from holder if possible
2. turn off flash
3. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day. Use a black or white background to avoid any reflective color
4. move phone about 3in from coin
5. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the cameras view finder. if your phone has a portrait selection use that and then press and hold on the coin in the view finder to AF lock it
6. hold phone steady. if you can't then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring
