    Both coins show nice toning. You captured it in both pictures. The second pic looks a bit more cloudy to me.

    The first coin is struck a little weaker then the second, and shows rub. It's an AU coin, probably around AU-53.

    The second coin looks uncirculated, and if there is any wear, it would be no less than an AU-58.

    I'm thinking it's an MS-64.

    I see a pair of nice 64s.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Just a thought - you may want to try white or grey backgrounds and see how they compare. A lighter background may make the coins "pop" more.

    I am trying to figure out how to change color of background on my software. Thanks for the tip.

    WOW.........pictures. That first coin that is a 64 sure shows a LOT of wear in just the right places. Fooled by pictures again!

    What type of camera box and lens do you use?

    I use a Cannon Rebel XS with a tether to my computer. I use a Rodenstock lens mounted on bellows. With a copy stand. I just shoot right on the dining room table.
