Need Help with 1921-D Morgan - found a new shop

There are no coin shops in my area. While shopping today, I found one that was just opening. I'm psyched. The guy doesn't have all of his stuff set up, but he let me in anyway. Super nice guy. Let me go through a couple boxes of raw circulated Morgan and Peace dollars. He knew about VAMs, knew about 21-D die crack collectors, was showing me some counterfeit gold coins. If my wife and kids weren't waiting in the car for me, I would have stayed for hours. He even gave me a couple of recent grey sheets. Nice guy.
Picked up a few silver dollars. Can't identify this 21-D. I should have taken a full-coin scan before I dropped it in a jar of acetone. Cracks on both sides. Most noticeable goes off the base of the second L in DOLLAR and to the rim. Also has cracks in the wreath (both sides), crack over E in STATES to the rim, and a few more. Can't find a VAM match. Because of its heavy circulation, many of the cracks/breaks are worn down. Any ideas? If it will help, I'll take it out its acetone bath and take a scan.
