I got this coin in a holder labeled as uncirculated. I found wear on a couple stars on the obverse. Just looking for a rough grade.

Pics are too dark and soft to grade from. That is not wear on the stars, but rather a striking issue.

Are these better? By the way, the "crack in the E in united I believe is a sliver of material from the holder.

I would say AU50-53. The details on all the hair waves are still strong, although there is rub on the reverse flowers and leaves. Given the dirt around the stars, and those little halos of haze but clear fields, I would wonder at a cleaning.

Is that Longacre doubling on the reverse lettering? The E in States seems to have a split top serif.

I would be happy with AU. I've seen better but missed the ends of the auctions.

Yes Longacre doubling on this coin. There is doubling all over. I don't understand the design of this T though.
