Is it possible that this is an early die state since many of the markers are either missing or barely developed?

I would think that it would be a later die state. The more coins that were struck with the variety would eventually wear down the die diagnostics to the point where they become non-existent. See how mushy your strike is becoming? The doubling is still noticeable but on areas like the date and motto, it's becoming a little soft. Therefore a little bit of LDS. Btw, nice coin, I've always wanted one of these!!

The die flow on the fields tells me it is LDS. (Late-Die-State)

Oh, I see how I had that backwards! The die would have shown stronger doubling when it was newer right? As it gets worn down it becomes less and less clear.

That's right Agrippa and nice find! Also with the die markers it would all depend I think on when they occurred on the die in the life of the die as to wether they would still be there or not
