Still learning new camera ... and digesting SuperDave's post on "coin shots" ... looking for thoughts on grade (of the coin, not the pictures )

Well, I want to grade the pics, so

You're using two lights, just about perfectly. The pics are small but sharply focused, and in a two-light setup you're going to get darker areas like seen between 6:00 and 8:00 - that's unavoidable and can be helped in postprocessing.

The coin itself? Mint State, likely, but it looks like Liberty stopped a bullet above her ear. A solid MS63 coin dropped a grade or two because of the bullet wound.

Nice looking coin, pictures are a little small but the quality is good. From what I can see I would grade this coin at MS-63.
