Can you tell the grade from these photos?

I couldn't capture the toning on this coin to save my life or your opinions of it might have changed!!

I think MS on this one.
Looks to have lots of luster.
Typical weak strike consistent with the era.
probably 62-63

I guess I should have put in my original post - I think it's MS62. But I don't have much exp. on this. And the coin does have a ton of luster, I feel like I did okay capturing the luster on the photo - just not the rainbow toning on it.

Luster capturing is difficult. My suggestion is if you really want to get a nice picture, carefully take the coin out and try to take the pic on a black background. a clean cotton shirt would do the trick. This might give the color a little more bump. Try from several different angles too.

I would grade 58-62 here

I think I also need a lens just for coins/ebay stuff. Looking into that right now.

I do appreciate the grading though!
