I don't have many slabbed coins and am having trouble getting a good picture through the plastic. Can anyone offer an opinion from these pictures or are they too glarry?

The coin has been graded by NGC, but I am more interested in seeing if a consistent grade can be achieved with pictures like these or if I am really going to have to improve my picture taking skills.

I will post the NGC grade at a later date.

Not an expert, but it's my understanding that MS+ coins can only be accurately graded in hand. (I could be wrong)

Nice coin, was going to say MS-65, but grade has already been posted.
