Great Start.
Looking forward to seeing your next piece.
With regards to your comments about facial structure.
Assuming you have a ball vice, get in the habit of rotating the coin constantly to check spatial relationships. If you have to push things back to achieve a proper nose then carve things back. Full frontal views are very hard to do. Try a 3/4 you will have more apparent depth by undercutting and effectively more room to work.

Do go for a better nickel to start with.
