This 1867 Two Cents is showing off die failure, in spectacular fashion. Kliman's old K-1. "Fully involved" reverse/obverse. Not the DDO, but still quite attractive, at least to me. Grade thoughts?

Dies almost gone, can't give a grade because I don't know how they grade these with the dies that bad.

XF-45, possibly AU-50.
Die cracks affect grading only very slightly.
Your images are just enough out of focus to make grading a bit difficult.
I went by the horizontal lines in the shield.
