I found this on a recent hunt; I would appreciate your keen eye and thoughts. No steps, but perhaps a low circulated LDS strike?

OK, got home and dug out some other specimens I had - I note the halo on two of the three (left and right below) and reverses look very similar if not same. No step detail left, but light wear on the coins suggest that coins are lightly circulated. Details are soft; LDS or maybe further along.

So how are LDS/VLDS coins graded if the typical features where never there to begin with? Granted lower, but aside from a niche group of collectors who document the dies/die states, are coins like these 1970Ds collectable to the masses? Or coins to toss back into circulation?

Probably just a really nice early die strike. I am hardly an expert, so I await their opinions.

Thanks for the bump Jbuck! I've noted other members that perhaps have tripped on the root I'm tripping on. I've come across very nice specimens from P and D mints that are proof like. To your comment perhaps what is fooling me (others?) are early die struck coins. No frosted busts but deep, highly polished cameos. And as noted above, some specimens are near perfect but lack expected (?) details. I am curious to hear what the experts here have to offer.
