Which is better?

I appreciate such great knowledge that's shared in this forum. Great members.
Help needed, which of the photo is better?
What can be done to make these pictures better?
Which image is closer or is on track for the ideal picture of the coin.
Left is harsh and the right is little softer, because of the lighting. When you hold it in hand, the coin does not look as harsh as the left pic. Which one is the correct way of depicting the coin for personal cataloging purpose?
Respect and appreciate your inputs.

How did you remove the spot on the nose without cracking it out?
That's a shadow.
Nice pics.

Its the lighting, i believe. Same holder, no crackouts.
Thanks.
The left photo looks over exposed (too much light). The right one not enough. The plastic on the right looks a cool blue color like the previous generation holders. The new holders are lighter in color.
So overall, I like the right photo but more tweaking can be done. I'll have to let the experts answer what to do.
I like the one on the right.
For selling, I prefer the left, for evaluation, the right...
