Top five condition census coins from last 10 years of auction and sale records (In this case LDS with the crack mentioned at the top):
04/09 Heritage (CSNS-Cincinnati) NGC MS66 (Kaufman)
09/07 Heritage (Long Beach) PCGS MS65
01/17 Heritage (FUN-Ft. Lauderdale) PCGS MS64 CAC
06/13 Heritage (Long Beach) PCGS MS64
09/19 Downey MBS 49 PCGS MS62 (Davignon)
NGC Graded AU53. Rather thick skin on this. the luster peaks through and is subdued but pretty extensive. Before the re-holder, it was difficult to see why this graded AU53. Now I see... From Heritage: Late dies with peripheral design spreading and prominent clash marks. Deep olive and ocean-blue toning consumes this lightly circulated early silver type coin.
This one has a die crack from the Base of "D" in UNITED through the base of S and T in STATES. You could call this the "a" model as it is listed as such in Steve Herrman's AMBPR. He lists this die state as an R3.
