Bummer about the rim damage.
Obverse upper left rim looks like it may be struck partially out of collar? Or is it just showing that way due to the very large (excellent) image?
Way to go!!
I's only the second circulated example I have ever seen. Despite the obverse wipe/cleaning it's still a great find!
Hoard the keys.
Is this the latest die-state? I've never seen an example with die breaks within the "scar".

You look to be correct.

Thanks!
<< <i>Wow, great score! The rim issue is easy to look past on a coin like this, IMO, and if you get it graded, the holder should hide the issue

I do believe it is the latest die state variety. I looked at a bunch of images, and I couldn't find any more dramatic.

Some things are learned .
Some things are taught.
Some things we find
When we do what we ought.
An so, when we do,
it all starts anew.
As justice will come
To any coin guru.
And whether attained
or discovered by luck
A person's retained
A deserved

It appears to be such a late die example I do believe I see tears from her eye.

This reminds me of my time with "you know who" when I found the 1878 VAM 44 in AU (ask DennisH) among others, including several 1887 VAM 1B Clashed E reverses. It was fun while it lasted.

YOU SUCK! Just kidding. That is a GREAT find. Congratulations. PS-the coin looks pretty nice to me. The huge images make the rim tick look worse than it is. Nice looking coin.
<< <i>Unbelievable!! After all these years of searching bag after bag after bag of silver dollars, never a Scarface and never a Donkey Tail. And there it is: you pluck a LDS Scarface out of thin air. Literally thousands upon thousands of searching raw, virgin bags of silver dollars. Geesh.

I know what you mean.
I have sorted 100,000+ Mercury Dimes, and I have found one 1942/1, one 1941/2-D and one mishandled proof. If you compute the hours it took to find those coins, it was probably best to not even search the coins!
The coin does not look quite as wiped in hand. The rim bumps do concern me.
