It's fairly hard to tell what's going on up there because you are coming your hair forward but a 2 looks right. As baldcasanova says you have a strong crown and to be honest I'd say you have way too much hair to be considering a procedure. Are you using the minox. on the front. You'll want to protect/ maintain the crown with propecia.

Echoing the above sentiments, you look like a NW2. Minoxidil can work on the hairline. Like JacobS said above try medications before jumping into surgery, if only to stabilize your hair loss. Keep researching to determine your best route. Definitely check into Finasteride (Propecia) to keep what you have.
