Welcome to the forum. Please post a picture of the full reverse of the coin. And, a picture of the obverse, as well, just for reference. Thank you.

Yours pictures are way too large. If you blow any coin up that much, you are sure to find an anomaly somewhere.
If you can’t see an error with a 10 power or smaller loupe, it is not worth recording. Even the graders would not attribute something increased that much. It is only major errors that can be seen with your eye that bring any premium.

I think a blowup is fine, provided it is oriented correctly (they rarely bother), but having full sharp pictures of both sides is indispensable. I don't even bother much with only partial pics, since so much other potential information is absent.
