A small planchet chip on the leaves under the second S in STATES is the best identifying mark, but it is difficult to see. LDS, Breen state IV. In addition to the die clashmarks described by Breen there are narrow but clearly visible rim cud breaks over the U and N in UNITED (neither of which is mentioned in the Breen encyclopedia).
