I don't have an attribution guide for Peace dollars but I'm sure many of you out there do.
I picked up a nice 1923 Peace in recently, which is very nice for the grade. I'll be sending it to NCS as it has some minor surface contaminants which I find distracting. It's in an old green holder (PCGS MS65), which is actually between the green and yellow stage and is a sort of sage green right now
I was surprised to find a nice die crack on it. It is DEFINITELY a die crack, raised upon the surface, beginning faintly between the R in pluribus and the A in states. It is most prominent through the B and U in pluribus, and ends at the eagle's beak. It's quite nice and very very obvious when holding the coin in-hand.
I've taken some quick shots of it, below. I was hoping someone could attribute it for me? Thanks in advance!!
p.s. the image server has been a bit slow with reaction times lately, please be patient. Once it responds to your request the actual file transfer is decent.

I have a raw 23-D up for auction on FeeBay. At first I thought your die crack looked familiar, but mine goes through the R whereas yours goes above. There's also a die crack through the 1 in the date on the obverse. I'm not a Peace officianado, but from the ones I've owned these die cracks are pretty common. Hard to say how many variations there are out there. Maybe one of the experts can enlighten us on this one.

Yup. That's definitely a Peace dollar, all right.
